Hi Guest, nice to hear from you. the only people i remember across from marty where the Mitchells. Whats your name and do you still live in Barmulloch. hope to hear from you soon, cheers

One of the Guests mentions the janitor at All Saints. I vaguely remember a Power family living in the janitor's house at Rye Road School in the 60s. Any connection with the Powers mentioned here ?

DC

hi D.C., i dont remember any Power's living in the janitors house, but i will ask and see if there ever where. wots your name? and do you still live in Barmulloch?


Paul

Paul ... I didn't live in Barmulloch, just went to school there. Thinking back, I am not sure now if it was the janitor's house at Rye Road School or Barmulloch College, where the Power family may have lived.

I passed through Barmulloch this morning and I was surprised to see that the site of many council flats close to the Broomfield Tavern is now open wasteland, and that the college and janitors' houses lie derelict and vandalised.

Where have they moved all the residents and students to, and are there any plans for the area ?

Can Anyone Help. I am looking for the Allen family that lived in Barmulloch in the 70s ( Robert Allen and Family ) they lived in the close but cannot remember the address, Robert is my Uncle, he had a wife and two kids grown adults now, it would be great to find them, any help given would be Truly Thankful for. Aye Yours Jock Melbourne Australia

Jock we need more info mate? Maiden names etc.

Fascinating web site. I lived in Bar-M all my childhood. My dad and sister Sadie still do, but I moved away in 1982 to foreign lands ending up in Little Rock Arkansas USA 14 years ago. I now have a beautiful wife and three stunning weans. Still miss the place but don't expect me to move home to Ryehill Road any time soon. Oh bye the way I went to All Saints and I can't remember any janitor called Powers. I used to hang with Charlie Mcneill, Mutton, Ogie, Big Sooty, John Wilson, Sharkie, Jim Gallagher and Paul Mcmutrie. Remember them?

Brian ... lots of changes in the area. All Saints School has been demolished, and replaced with a much smaller version.

Barmulloch College, Rye Road School, and many of the flats in the area have all gone too, so far not being replaced by anything !
