Young Jim
Some Photos have been received that initially I was going to put in the Gallery . I decided against this and put them all on this page because I am hoping that if there is a story to one of them ( or group ) then I would like to treat it as another page .
So if you know why Jim ( very young ) seems to be sitting in a portacabin with what looks like 4 refugees from the Louisianna Swamps ( or maybe relations from the Scottish Highlands ?) then let me know and I will put it with the photo .
Use the comments form at the bottom of the page to leave any comments on these gems .
Thanks
Look Ma ! on top of the world ………..
How Chav is that ? Wearing white to show off the Tan !
This has to be Hillbilly land — Any one know anyone here ?
The Dinnells were left homeless after someone burnt down the tenement they lived in — Jim was also caught smoking the day after … not agood week alround for the Young Dinnell .
Len slept okay until the tide came in ……
The sea was in Jims blood at an early age — the sand was in his shorts .
Sam Torrance offered Jim life long advice such as ..” keep your hands in front and clasped when sitting with your mates ”
Not a true Jock — he’s showing money not hiding it
Aye it was hard on the road … but come winter Jim would have his own shirt .
The only Seismic picture of Jim — Come on guys there must be others
holidays were better when the train came to Dumfries — except when it rained
Women in long dresses , men in —– well I hope it was warm that day !
