East Lothian Peeps into the Past: January 26-29 1996, 1971 and 1921

Sayings and doings of 25 years ago. IT WAS unclear if departing Post Office owners would send back a letter from America, reported the East Lothian Courier on January 26, 1996. Thursday was a red letter day for Ross and Louise Searle when they arrived in Aberlady to stamp their mark on village life. The Searles, from Glamis in Angus, have taken over the local Post Office from the previous owners of three years, Derek and Gloria Hutchinson – who now plan to travel the globe. The Hutchinsons are taking early retirement as they both near 60 and aim to start their voyage in America, and work their way from West to East, dropping in on friends who are scattered around the world.

East Lothian Peeps into the Past: December 29-31, 1995, 1970 and 1920

    ‘PLEASE drink up. the pub is on fire’ was a headline in the East Lothian Courier on December 29, 1995. Time was called early at the Auld Hoose pub in North Berwick last Wednesday after a fire broke out in the public bar. Customers spotted smoke coming from the floor near a fireplace about 10pm and the local fire brigade was alerted. The premises were evacuated – including an upstairs flat occupied by Jean Borthwick and her Labrador dog, Freeway – as landlord Ian McMinn tried to tackle the blaze with a fire extinguisher containing powder. But help was soon at hand in the shape of his brother Hugh, a local fireman, and the rest of the retained crew who began fighting the dense smoke and flames.
