I’m greetin’ here. Block 5 Hailesland park from birth in ‘77 through to ‘86 when we finally got out of that dangerous home. I remember my mum going to switch TV on at the wall, and a massive white flash flew across wall. Dehumidifiers in each room. Giant brown fungal plants growing in corners of ceilings etc. apart from all that, I loved and missed being from hailesland. Had all my pals there as an 8yr old. Hope they are all on to wonderful things……..
Not sure I’d totally agree although I was only wee so I might of been exempt from getting a pasting. The houses were more dangerous(to live in) than the Streets. That, I do know.
I lived in block 72 WHD lots of black ⚫ mould in one of the bedrooms underneath a balcony Council would do nothing about it I eventually was given another house and less than 2 years later the flats were all pulled down When all the flats were gone before they rebuilt the ground I went back to look at where I had lived and brought up 3 children The empty space wasn't that big and so many people had lived there 😀
@@lindamillar2505 I was brought up at 24 wester hailes drive in the 80's and I remember an old guy died in the flats behind us because some junkies set his front door on fire and killed him. Must have been around 84'-86' (I was very young at the time). I remember when they filmed the movie 'Restless Natives' there, and all us kids got to chase these guys on a motorcycle across a footbridge as they threw monopoly off the back - up towards Clovenstone Primary School. Nowadays it seems Wester Hailes gets used to home refugees as well as the usual druggies. An interesting place for sure.
8t wasn't all bad, i grew up in Clovenstone, ( clovie) a sort of suburb of wester hailes..yes life could ve though at times, but still have lots off good memories 🔥
I'm sure that there are many decent people living there. I enjoyed the video, and I really liked the song too.
love the music!! great film...reminds me of my childhood in london

Not a place to wander around on your own in the 80's

Bollocks, I grew up there, no more trouble than anywhere else, certainly a LOT better than Pilton, muirhouse, Craigmillar to name a few
