Cath Tuff (nee Cath Hay)

Warwickshire, England

Thank you to Cath Tuff (nee Cath Hay) for sending her memories of Craigentinny in the 1940s.

Cath wrote:

Loganlee Terrace and Drive

"Does anyone have any memories of Craigentinny?

I was born in Loganlee Terrace and baptised at Restalrig Church.  Then, we moved to Loganlee Drive.  I knew everyone in our street.    I don't think there is anyone left now."

Wartime

"During the War, I  went to nursery school in Craigie.  At  the back of the school, I remember, a bomb hit a house and  blew it in two."

 Just after the War, I went to Craigentinny school, which is still there.

We used to get 2 pence for tea and a sticky bun, then went to the school hall to play till 5 o' clock.   Everyone was safe and our mothers never had to worry about us.  They knew where we were in those days."

Back Green Concerts

"In the summer, we had back green concerts.  Even my stuffy brother took part. 

He thought himself 'Lord of the Manor' because he had a paper round, and had a barrow made from an old box, and he delivered messages.  He never made his fortune."

Toffee Cups

"My mum would make toffee cups and  tablet.  We would sell it and give the money for the old folk that went to Craigentinny Castle

Those were the days, when the sun was always bright.

 My, I am getting auld !"

Cath Tuff, Warwickshire, England [since 1970]:  December 15, 2006

Olive

Edinburgh

Olive asked a question about World War II Bombings.

Olive wrote:

Loaning Crescent Bomb

"I'm trying to find out more about the WW11 bombings that happened in Edinburgh  -  dates and locations of air raids, that sort of thing.

I have a particular interest in the house that was bombed at Loaning Crescent, Craigentinny (not be be confused with the house hit at Loaning Road).

I believe two people died and four were injured in the blast. I used to live there and would love to know more."

Olive, Edinburgh:  January 22, 2009

If you would like to contact Olive, please email me, then I'll pass on your message to her.

Thank you.    -  Peter Stubbs:  January 22, 2009.

Thank you to George Gault who wrote:

Loaning Crescent Bomb

"I lived at 2 Loaning Crescent, Craigentinny, just opposite No 1 that was partially destroyed in a World War 2 bombing.

I remember a family called Linn, or was it Lynn?  One of the boys was called Peter."

George Gault, Edgewater, Perth, Western Australia:  May 25, 2009

Note for George Gault

George:  I've tried to send a message to you twice today, to the address that you wrote to me from a couple of days ago.  However, both times the message has been bounced back to me.  Can you let me know what email address I should use to contact you.

Thank you.   -  Peter Stubbs:  May 28, 2009

Thank you to Ken Campbell for responding to the message from Olive in Recollections 2 above.

Loaning Crescent Bomb

"I lived in Loganlea Place at the time of the bombing that Olive mentions.

I remember, when it happened, I was on the summer break and I actually walked around the back of the school to see the damage.

The gable end of one tenement had totally collapsed. This building is still the same now, with stair entrance not in the middle but at the end where the three houses were damaged.

I believe the caretaker of the castle was supposedly blown out his room and I heard he had been killed. The building was on the corner of Loaning Crescent and the Road next to the castle.

The School

The school also suffered damage. I remember the ceiling of my classroom had been repaired by the time we went back to school after our summer break.

I cannot remember the year but I think it must have been 1942 as I started school in 1941 and I was attending school when this happened.

I still live in Craigentinny and my sister still lives in Loganlea place."
