The front of the book with the policeman shows Ness’s School over his shoulder to the right, this was where your Grandad John Morton worked as a janitor.
Note from Bill: The Policeman was known as “Dan the Pig.” |
| The name Ness’s was the name of a schoolmaster John Ness who came with his family to Blantyre from Glasgow to run the school when it opened in the late 1800’s. |
