Gerard Gardens area 2008..LEFT CLICK ON PHOTO FOR VERY LARGE IMAGE890 viewsArrow No1 was the Pontack Pub so you can get your bearings from here if you can't recognise how the area has changed..Arrow 2 is Gerard St..this is where the original Gerard St stood before Gerard Gardens were built..Arrow 3 is where the lads would play footy in Gerard Crescent..The main arch area to Gerard Gardens was in the area of Arrow 2,This is where the 1958 David McCallum,Stanley Baker movie Violent playground was filmed,Gerard Gardens was anything but a Violent playground..it was a great place to grow up
I'd like to thank Al Coutts for visiting here..Al is part of the Ponnie Gang having lived in the Pub Himself as a child..Thank You Al...good to hear from you.
