Staff at Co-op Funeralcare on Glaisnock Street have redecorated their shop windows with picture postcards of the past.

The “Back in the Day” photo exhibition was put together by Gillian Patrick, member pioneer at the Cumnock Co-op.

Gillian, who has been collecting photos for

the past couple of months, said that the project had been started, “to get folk talking and reminiscing.”

Since the window went up it has been described as a great success.

And Gillian revealed that she’s “already had some great conversations and lots of reminiscing”.
