| Glasgow's Lost Streets/Roads etc |
There are a few forgotten streets near where I live. The northern portion of Ladywell Street survives, but the southern section was swallowed up by the expansion of Tennents Brewery. The actual Ladywell is just visible at the top end of the street.
It also stands on the location of Wright Street and ... |
| Maryhill area |
| I was tempted to open a new thread entitled "North Kelvinside" but decided there was no use trying to act all posh - G20 is after all a Maryhill postcode! I used to live in Sanda Street (formerly Gower Street until the 1930s) and I'm going back to scout out the area and take pics tomorrow. My question is though -- Does anybody remember Kelbourne School on Hotspur Street and if so, when did the recreation ground across ... |
| Glasgow tunnels |
In light of the opening of the new Morrisons supermarket on Barrack Street, we're away to scout out the remaining tunnels and see what remains of the Bridgeton Branch Line and feeder routes. The results will be posted to the site tomorrow evening. p.s.

| Once you've joined...Say Hello in here! |
Found this site from Glesga Folk.
Have had a look at some of the photos of Glasgow in the 70s and really sad that I didn't take any photos of Glasgow going through the changes but REALLY ecstatic that others have.
I just didn't realise how much has changed during my lifetime.
Even the post war house that I was born in has been demolished.
Hope to try and post 1 or 2 photos that I may have taken of Glasgow recently. |
