Not that the photo itself it great but yesterday when passing this part of the Gallowgate I looked back at the Whitevale Swimming Baths.. and thought to myself that not until all those old streets of tenements were pulled down was this view of the baths able to have ever be seen.. so before they go builiding again on this plot, I thought Id shove it on...
Hi Calamity where is the photo?
I passed by there on Friday and noticed the tenements had been demolished, more 70s stuff that didnt last

what am I like norrie, here it is, aye they tore those flats donw smart, the same after the fire at Linns pub, they were building on that plot the next week, makes you wonder eh... this just an impossible shot to get a wee while ago...
Calamity, the demolition of the houses at Slatefield Street from Wyper Place at the Bellgrove Hotel to Whitevale St took around 6 years to complete.
The plot at Lynn`s pub to my knowledge hasn`t been developed yet unless it has been done in the last few months. _________________ I was in a Tunnel on another forum and I came out here. fcuk, who shut the door !

Hi Calamity, from where you are standing in your pic the Lynn bar / Chip Shop and Newsagents were at the other side of the top of David Street....Here`s a google image before the shops got torched...
The Whitevale Baths are riddled with Asbestos so the chances of access are zero. _________________ I was in a Tunnel on another forum and I came out here. fcuk, who shut the door !

That first shop there was Suzi Wong's Take away in the 70's and early 80's
Wee restaraunt with a take away counter...
Wee used to get food from it occasionally as it was a treat then instead of the norm. _________________ MY FLICKR

The wee shop at the end was a hardware shop for years _________________ www.benallison.co.uk
