Mystery of dead fish on North shore |
|
From "The Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald" dated 2nd December 1960
On Wednesday, a large number of dead fish were washed in by the tide at North shore, Ardrossan.
People were observed gathering the fish, but the seagulls did not touch them.
Phone calls were made to the Police Station and to the Harbour office enquiring about the fish and asking if they were safe to eat, but the mystery of the dead fish has not been solved. |

|
From "The Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald" dated 2nd December 1960
Mr. Joseph Brodie, 6 Carrick Place, Ardrossan, Collector of Dues for Ardrossan Harbour Company, retired on Wednesday after 50 years service with the Company.
To mark the occasion, ten of his colleagues called at his home and on behalf of the staff, Mr. Shields, the Secretary of the Company, presented Mr. Brodie with a portable radio.
Mr. Brodie, who is a well-known figure in shipping circles, was a keen amateur footballer in his younger days, and up to the time of his illness was a keen golfer.
He is a most sincere man and has a likeable nature. |
