'And finally, not everyone’s being doing topical. In fact, here’s the rather lovely 6 Oxgangs Avenue devoted to the history of the development of the area, this week highlighting how the block of flats came into being. Could have been prompted by Who do you think you are? Or just a timely reminder that not everything worth blogging about is in the here and now.'

Hi,
My nana and grandfather lived in I think oxgangs street ?
From at least 1962 I would presume as she would have had my uncle by that time .
Unfortunately grandparents and uncle have passed away now and I don’t have any kind of relationship with my mother (by choice) .

I adored my nana and have such fond memories of spending time with her in her wee flat And getting the bus into town .
Always took me to the oxgangs gala every year.

Unfortunately she passed away when I was 20 and due to circumstances I hadn’t really kept in touch with her as much as I should have before she died.

I remember her always being bubbly and fun, she did seem to have a lot of friends that were local and she was super friendly with her neighbours in the block and used to meet friends at some kind of local social pub regularly .
My nana’s name is as Anna Gunn ,
My grandfather was George Gunn
My uncle Norman I believe was born in 1962 (ish)
And my mother was born in 1964.

I suppose I would just like to know if there was anyone that could share some memories of them or if there was any old photos as sadly I don’t have any .
