P.S. I've forgotten how to paste an image along with a post, or have things changed?....
[/quote]After looking at the 1957 map, the two buildings might be called 'The Coppice' and 'Inchanagh' and one must've been renamed Touchwood House and used by the Labour Social Club at a later point. The Children's home was slightly to the north of there on the site of the present day Bowling club's car park or thereabouts, the field which was to the home's south can still be seen as an open space to the west of Ivanhoe Road.

There is something across from the library that is closed and I'm sure there is another bit with a massive roller shut down on that floor also. Really not sure though.
The pictures are going on Flickr and I will let you know asap when they appear, the video is getting edited together into a montage along to a period piece of library music to complete the mood of the place.
After a spell as a technical illustrator with Rolls-Royce, the promise of a new house for his growing family led him to an interview with the Cumbernauld Development Corporation. A few abstract doodles on the card separating examples of technical illustration caught the eye of the interviewers and he found himself being appointed as town artist for the growing town, the first such position in the UK.
Cumbernauld in the early 1960s was at the forefront of modern town planning, and attracted professionals from around the world to work. In this cosmopolitan and forward thinking atmosphere, he was given free rein to help develop the town, adding colour and environmental artworks to the rapidly growing community, as well as designing logos, signage and exhibitions to promote the town to investors and industry.
