St. James’ Quarter c 1950s. Many of the Quilietti members lived in these old tenements are were well happy to relocate to the new housing the Council were building in the surburbs of the City. The Damp conditions with no inside toilets and no heating was certainly what contributed to the early demise of many of the family. It was to West Pilton that Valentina [Tina] and Alex. would go and these new houses would have been sheer luxury with inside sanitation and coal fires in every room.
St. James’ Quarter as it was when the Murray and Quilietti cousins were growing up. This wonderful photo shows St. James’ Street stretching up to St. James Square. I am sure these streets would have many a tale to tell. All gone now. St Mary’s RC Cathedral centre front
