born in fountainwell and moved to pinkston 10 years later....great place to grow up. bought a lot of sweeties at RS McColls while my da got pissed in the sidings
They’re a really hard one to research, I’m trying to find as much information as possible. In the meantime, I’ll make a part 3 to the Sighthill episodes with the St Rollox Chemical Plant,
Pinkston flats were not identical to Fountainwell. Parson Heights And Hartfield heights had larger apartments, two lifts on every floor as well as a drying green on each side and every floor. Smaller flats were not built around both parts of the estate but were instead built in Fountainwell only. Incorporate this and I will delete. ;)
That’s quite interesting. Fountainwell was a bit before my time so I never knew that, the video’s over two years old now so I don’t think there’s any point in updating it, however if people are interested I would be willing to completely remake it since there’s a lot of information I’ve found out about Sighthill and other tower blocks after making a video about them.
