Robin, I have been following your dialogue with Alison and others re Uphall with interest. My wife was born and brought up there and We were married there in 1962. She recognised nearly all of the names, so if Alison need more info she can contact me offlist. I really wanted to correct your reference to the "seven" sisters. There are only five bings, which are protected as industrial heritage.They are a result of the shale mined from Westwood Pit near West Calder. I have a particular interest since my maternal GrGrandfather and Grandfather Lyle were Under Managers there.
