Nice to see a photo of L eckethill St. I was born there in 1956 and in about 1960 as my parents got a new house in Eeasterhouse.

I recognise a lot of those streets - boy how they have changed in the past 40 years since l last walked them.

The wee pals are brilliant

Great place i served my apprenticeship at petershill road

This is my school apparently this was built in 1901

I was born at 9 Bedlay st on 1st August 1966 then moved onto the Red Rd flats in 1968. So many great memorys growing up. Sadly mum and dad are no longer here they would have loved these brilliant videos 💙

I was Born at home in cowliers road in 1966 my mum's parents Gran & Grandad stayed on keppocuill road if I've spelled wrong so sorry for the spelling lol.what time to be born wonderful childhood memories what ta waist of great history MPS ruined sprinburn look at it now aye soar & now horrible times to live in everything I know is gone it so sad😓

My old school hasn't change since 70s 80s

I was born at home at 36 Petershill Road Springburn in 1957. Not only does the place of my birth no longer exist but that section of Petershill Road doesn't exist either. There's a pathway instead. And in place of my house are a bunch of trees at the back end of the firestation which stands on the spot of the back courts where I used to play and run across to visit my granny in Auchentoshen Terrace. When I started primary school id Cross the road to Bedlay Street then walk across Paddios Park, the place I first kicked a football, The park no longer exists but is home to Petershill F.C. it was this team in their old stadium further up Petershill Road where I saw my first football match. At the other side of Paddios Park I turned left and there was my school. Hyde Park primary. Im surprised the building still stands. Practically everything about Springburn I remember from my toddler days is gone. My grandfather's Butcher shop on Springburn Road was knocked down to build a motorway and his house on Balgray Hill knocked down to build flats.old Springburn might be dead and gone but the memories live forever.

I see my old mail box in this one,had to go to court 'cause of that post box....not guilty of fishing out letters back in the 50's....wrong guy!.....chuckle

Shocking Glasgow Council

Truly humble apologies, Andrew et al., if the following appears to be offensive: The introduction of (many illegal) immigrants being overwhelmingly welcomed to Dear Springburn, alongside the well-planned rot of Springburn by 'those of another ilk', has resulted in total defecation upon all the stalwart, erstwhile people who *worked hard* to build that once proud environment. Stay free. Rab 🍻 🎲 🌠

Is not changed a bit

I was born in Petershill road at home in 1957 . If they ever want to put a "Tam was born here" plaque up on the spot I was born theyll have to climb up the side of the fire station that's there now.

I used to live op gate into cemetery. Changed a bit since those days.

I LIVED ACROSS THE ROAD FROM GATES ? 1975 ? WENT TO PETERSHILL RD PRIMARY ?? DURING SUMMER HOLS YOU STILL GOT YOUR DINNERTIME IN SCHOOL ?? BUT SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED ?? IT,S WORSE NOW

It's called Springburn Academy now.

Thank you , I did not know anything about Wallace’s Well .

Gripping stuff

Boring as fuck

The good old days when the Cairn was opened.

Noisy dug at start. Tx for posting.

Hi, love the photos of the Albert senior secondary school you tube- I'm trying to print these but quality is not great from the video, could I get better ones directly from you perhaps ? Laura

great stuff

Great wee videos Harry, jist wished you'd gone alang the other way on Wallacewell Rd so's ah could have seen ma auld hoose at 315 W'Well Rd. Thanks for your efforts pal, Jimmuck. a.k.a.

Wow! It has changed its now 2020 17 August monday

Crazy how much everything looks different in 10 years. Alot of the skyline missing now and especially the cars

Last time I visited my birthplace, Gourlay Street School was 'North Glasgow Psychiatric Services Centre'. Stay free.

i used to work in the boundry bar when i was 18 in 1969 love the picture

I was a part of the original lot of families who filled every house in Bishopmill Road , Bishopmill Place and the two houses on Ryehill Road whichwere considered part of the Bishopmill community. Naturally, no one knew anyone else but that soon changed and a Bishopmill Parent` Association was soon formed many events were soon organised. To this day, I could still tell yo the name of EVERY family in that smallcommunity. We lived at No 42.

We used to cycle from barmulloch out past the well during late 70s early 80s. The Wallace’s well granite stone was there then, all them houses are relatively new, as it was farm land all the way back to the old abandoned hospital site, which had been demolished for some time. Thank you for stirring up the memories

Oh how barmulloch has changed. I was born and bred on ryeside road, moved away 30yrs ago. Where have the schools barmulloch primary & st Catherine’s gone and barmulloch college. I had a friend lived in ryebank road, the other end house to the row you live in.

Wow, stomped that route between 1980-84, heading home to ryeside road, which is the prefabs over the back of the bowling club. Fond and mixed memories of the big Albert( secondary), how the old stobhill hospital has changed, so glad to see the old clock tower .
