The “New Wynd” which no longer exists, was located between the Grammar School Square and Castle Street, within the Old Town area of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It was demolished c. 1930.
In the above photo you can see some small thatch roofed weaver’s cottages. And, Good Duchess Anne’s Alms House is also visible on the opposite side of the street, complete with it’s own small belfry tower. The Old Toll Booth Tower can also be seen looming above the parameter wall (centre of shot).
The photo below shows an opposite view of the New Wynd, looking up from Castle Street towards the Grammar School Square. The Grammar School is visible. This was before some of the buildings on the right-hand side were demolished to create space for the “Sheiling Hill” which runs down past the Original Grammar School curved parameter wall out to Muir Street. The wall still exists today and has had a couple of courses of brick work added to it!

Hi Terry, Thanks for publishing these photos and description of New Wynd. My interest stems from an ancestor living here in 1871. My widowed 3xG grandmother was at no 15 at the time of the census. Her husband died in 1870 in Castle Street Hamilton, which you also have published photos.
Regards
Kevin
