On the High Street
Gordie Peterson on the High Street, taken outside MacKenzie's butcher shop, 1964. Roddy Wood and Roddy MacKenzie are in the background. Does anyone know who owned the Ford Consul car HJS 36 ?

I was only 8rys. At the time this picture was taken but I do remember your face. Your recollections are amazing! Somebody was asking what the Albyn Housing building was before. So funny, I can only remember it as a garage!

Hi John. He certainly did have a Consul, but much earlier,in the 50s. By 1964 he'd had a Zephyr and a couple of Zodiacs, needed for ferrying the band about. His first car was an Austin 7, and before that I remember being taken to watch a football match at Black Park on an AJS motorbike.

We were pretty widespread, Harry, but no, not to my knowledge.
