To get there: down a narrow pend and the side of the building,around the back and up a wee path past a small washing green/garden on the left and a wash-house and outdide toilet on the right hand side before coming to this separate enclosed cottage.

Road Terraces and the Rosebank area). Rose St. was somewhat between Rose Lane and Dons Rd. as one can see from the map. The picture shows a wee old pub and the railings from the old Rosebank primary school. Across the road (from the photo)was just waste ground as similar buildings were already demolished in the 30's 40's? All that I remember was occasionally getting fresh eggs from a lady that had a large hen pen there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-13097825165041408512017-01-24T12:36:04.222-08:002017-01-24T12:36:04.222-08:00great to see the photo of the mad dog, brought bac...great to see the photo of the mad dog, brought back lots of memouries. we lived in a wee cottage at the back of the pub which was accesed by a small lane running down the side . happy days indeedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-45458526737208689132016-04-14T16:52:54.890-07:002016-04-14T16:52:54.890-07:00Sorry last comment should have said West Side of R...Sorry last comment should have said West Side of Rosebank school. The East side was Tulloch Crescent, and was techically outside the school fence. Not that it stopped us escaping during school playtime. There was a red gravel football pitch on the other side with really dangerous high walls around it that we used to climb the whole time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-21331442183800335952016-04-14T16:48:25.177-07:002016-04-14T16:48:25.177-07:00Rose Street is exactly where the large road down t...Rose Street is exactly where the large road down the east side of the rebuilt Rosebank Primary School is, within the school grounds. There is also an extension of Rose Lane that runs outside the fence along the wall down towards the multis. When I lived on the Conshie and went to Rosie school as a kid I used to be able to sprint from Rosebank Road to Dudhope Street in under 10 seconds and thought I was brilliant because of it. There was a nursery at the bottom of the lane (later a Barnardos centre?) that I seem to remember the Queen Mother visiting some time in the 80s. There was a wall on Rose Lane next to the McLean and Stuart garage that partitioned off the posher houses on Constitution Terrace and Union Terrace. Every day on my way to and from school I used to poke at the wall with a stick, gradually loosening the stones. Over a period of many months the wall started to become really weak until one day a massive hole appeared in it and it collapsed! I confess it was all my fault!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-71446212454250816862010-10-06T13:37:21.091-07:002010-10-06T13:37:21.091-07:00I remmember this pub, the photo is of it not long ...I remmember this pub, the photo is of it not long after it closed, a few of us went into the building to collect some salvege for our bonfire for 5th November that year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-4640416387605250432010-10-05T11:55:21.470-07:002010-10-05T11:55:21.470-07:00I had a wander down Rose Street today.
