I was in Denny this week for a funeral. I had a good drive around and was amazed at how many things in the town were no longer there compared to the 60s to 90s All the pits
All the foundries
The railway line 
The police station
The "toon hoose " 
Wee Ben's
Kelly the barber
The banks 
Swing parks and paddling pools 
Dunipace tennis courts 
The Gala Park (as was) 
The Dunipace club
The DeLuxe cinema 
Pubs: the Pines, Donner Inn, Royal Oak, Lion and Dragon, Horsemill Inn and the Carronbridge Inn. 
Church Walk and all its shops. 
Other shops: Maggie McFalls, Jane McNeil, the Buttercup and all Coop departments (replaced by a  Coop grocery   supermarket), Gillespies, Mathies , Lewis the Chemist , Lamberts, Tommy Gillons, the wee Barnego Road shop, 

 All these wonderful shops have been replaced by an abundance of chemists  vape shops and takeaways.  What happened? In fact I can think of only 3 businesses (apart from the 2 pubs)in the toon centre that were there in 1990: Kirks the butcher, the Strathcarron hospice shop and Gardiners the optician.
