This volume includes the villages of Gatehead and Knockentiber as well as Crosshouse itself, all within the ex-mining area just to the North of Kilmarnock. Crosshouse itself emerges as a typical mining village with the row housing, Co-operatives and strong community spirit remembered by older residents with fondness and a sense of loss. Another image rich volume in our ‘Old ’ series about the wee toons and villages of Scotland.
