Talk:Cardowan

I'd be interested in contributing to this article on the history front but would hate to tread on anyone's toes. Allaidh (talk) 23:13, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

A wee message:

You can see that loads of people have looked at the page, read stuff, but hardly anybody's added anything for ages. The thing is that you get a chance to write your version of Cardowan.

If you've lived in Cardowan for five, ten, twenty years? That means you are Cardowan. Your story is Cardowan's story. Please tell your story: St Joseph's Church / School; The train station; The pit and it's closure; The Black & White; The A80 and what the M80 bypass means to Stepps/Cardowan. What you think about the housing developments in the Colliery and Frankfield Loch and elsewhere in the area.

Anything else you want to add, anything - it's a community space.

If you look up Cardowan in history books, they'll tell you about who owned the land and who was in charge, but not about the people who live there. Cardowan is a long established community; and one that has recently expanded.

Anyone who reads the Cardowan page, please edit it by adding anything you know.

It isn't complete at all. It doesn't tell the whole story of the community. Add anything at all that tells a bit about Cardowan. Add a section, add a bit about your street. Your story and you family's story of Cardowan is what this page should be about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monsieurmonsieurghost (talk • contribs) 07:00, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to note another fatal accident that occurred at Cardowan Colliery on July 25, 1960. I vividly remember this because my maternal grandparents lived in Cardowan at the time and there was a thumbnail photo in the Daily Express, I think it was, of my grandfather, Thomas McEleney, and his sister Nancy Gillespie who was visiting from America at the time, standing outside the pit head waiting for news. There were three direct fatalities and seven injuries, one of which later proved fatal. Here's a link to the official Government report on the subject:

I'm not sure I'm up to doing edits on Wikipedia but wanted to add this for anyone who's more expert at it than myself who might want to make the addition--Roberta Harold, Montpelier, Vermont, USA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.127.137.247 (talk) 18:27, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Craigendmuir House
The article states one of the area's oldest surviving buildings is 'Craigendmuir House', but gives no information or source. Could anybody add some information or a location of this building please. Google gives up little. Theirishslave (talk) 05:34, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
