Letters to Memories
9th August 2009
Dear Monklands Website
Yesterday I visited
Chapelhall for my
grandfather ran the
grocery shop there in
the thirties, and when
he died before the war,
my grandmother continued
the business. It was
sited where the current
post office is. I am not
sure when he bought the
business, but the family
word on this is that he
sat on the railway
bridge counting how many
customers went in, to
help him decide if it
was viable! They married
in the
He was George Stewart
and she was Mary
Somerville Stephenson.
They had 6 children, one
of whom, Tom ran the
post office which was
where the current bakery
is now. Between both
businesses were their
houses.
I have only one photo of
the back of the building
and also one of a
waterfall somewhere
near, but have various
other memories. My
father was born in 1919
as the youngest of the
family.
I would be very pleased
if you could put me in
touch with anyone who
might be interested in
this, and who could
perhaps jog my memory
about other events. If you can help -Send Lesley an email kind regards Lesley Stewart
