- The cobbled street was actually still here until a few
years ago when the car showroom on the left was built.


Glebe Street, 1976 - The tenements have been reduced to the ground floor
shops and pubs. Compare this image to the second Past picture above - this is the
same row of tenements but it is looking from the opposite direction.


Glebe Street, 2008

Castle Street, 1958 (Glebe Street off to the left)


Castle Street, 2008


Castle Street, 1958


Castle Street, 2008


Castle Street, c.1960
- I suspect this date is incorrect as the American car was
owned by the guy who ran the cafe and I recall both him and the car from the early
1980s before the buildings were reduced to rubble for the eastern flank of the M8
Ring Road...

Also, you can see the remains of the Church that once stood next to the cafe to
the left. The single storey brick building was a little shop that sold lots of things
and was run by some bad-tempered wummin...


Castle Street, 2008

I remember doing a bit of research for someone who had ancestors who lived near there.

Great photos James

You have been very busy
