THE Border Telegraph turns back the pages with our weekly feature in association with the Old Gala Club.
Every week we print a photograph of bygone Galashiels from the club’s archives, as well as those handed in by our readers.
This week we feature the Galashiels Academy first hockey team which celebrated a win on November 28, 1936, when the players posed for a photograph at Lasswade, Edinburgh.
Pictured, back row (from left to right) are: Lizzie McLaren, Ella Carruthers, Kathleen Mycock, Audrey Cover and Isabel Naismith. Front row: Mabel Rankine, Betty Hobson, Betty Brownlee, Doreen Weir, Mary Henderson and Olive Massie.
Do you recognise any of the faces? Readers are invited to share with us their own photographs and memories of bygone Galashiels. They can be sent by emailing: amcgilvray@bordertelegraph.com Alternatively, pop in to our newsroom, round the corner from The Trophy Guy, at 32B Market Street, Galashiels, TD1 3AA.
