South Cambuslang in Winter
These scenes were shot on Saturday 2nd January 2010 using a Sony HDR-TG3E.
Cambuslang used to be the biggest village in Scotland. Back then (pre 1968) much of this area was green grazing pasture for Guernsey cattle. The three main farms were: Greenlees, Holmhills and Whitlawburn.
I don't recall seeing as much snow around here since Cliff Richard was at number 1 with 'Bachelor Boy'...in December 1962.

The FERODO Quickstep (full version) - with narration
มุมมอง 90015 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's the unexpurgated version of The Ferodo Quickstep, with narration by David de Keyser, as sent to several motor factors and dealers in the envelope pictured during 1961. The postmark is 3rd June 1961. I was given this copy many years ago by the proprietor of the motor dealership to which it had originally been sent because he had received two: one at each of his premises. This gentleman wi...
The FERODO Quickstep
มุมมอง 3.1K15 ปีที่แล้ว
A fine piece of British motor trade history, this is taken from a promotional 45 r.p.m record that Ferodo Limited of Chapel-en-le-Frith, England sent out to agents and factors during the early 1960s. With music & lyrics composed by John & Joan Shakespeare it contained a storyline voiced by David de Keyser which for some reason is missing from this version. But if anyone wants to hear the origin...
Cambuslang Public Park - Burn in Spate
มุมมอง 2.2K16 ปีที่แล้ว
A very rare sight. Normally this cheery wee burn is just a trickle. But with all the heavy rain we've been having lately... Well - see for yourself: quite a torrent, isn't it? I can't remember as much water here since the mid-1960s. These scenes were shot using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 stills camera in movie mode.
Cathkin & Rutherglen High Schools

This video shows construction work, as of March 2007, on the new Cathkin & Rutherglen High Schools in Holmhills Wood Community Park Cambuslang Glasgow. The 'Cathkin High' operational at the time (the pink building slightly south of the site) is shown for reference. The two new schools opened for business on Monday 20th October 2008 and I understand that the old Cathkin High (pictured) will be d...
Kelvingrove Park Glasgow
มุมมอง 6K18 ปีที่แล้ว
A quick look round Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow's fashionable west end. For many years Kelvingrove and its immediate neighbourhood could get rather unsavoury after 6pm. But the recent installation of CCTV cameras has safened things up a good bit. Whereas, during the day, Kelvingrove is probably as safe as any other park in the world. It's tremendously popular on summer evenings and at weekends w...
The Glasgow Subway - A Clockwork Orange
มุมมอง 98K18 ปีที่แล้ว
A Glasgow underground train - sometimes called 'A Clockwork Orange' - travelling from St. Enoch Station to what is now called 'Kelvinhall' at the bottom of Byres Road. However, I shall always remember this particular stop as 'Partick Cross' because it's right on Partick Cross, and near The Kelvin Hall 'none', as my aunty might say. Also calling this station 'Kelvinhall' and doing away with ' Pa...
Sunday Morning in Rio - Part One

    I lived in Whitlawburn for the first twenty years of my life. So many memories of growing up there. First being in the start of the video showing the Law burn inn. To the left of the building on the crest of the hill there used to be a very large boulder. This boulder was deposited there during the last ice age roughly 22,000 years ago. My friend and i used to play there as kids and would dig little holes under it to leave items for others to find(did we invent geocaching?) Years later when the council removed it to build the new housing estate i remember thinking just how much history and changes that boulder must have seen sitting there just chilling over thousands of years. Now Holmhills woods. at one point there someone dug out a fire pit of sorts on the top. We use to hang there in the summers as teens enjoying a beverage or three. Many firsts happened there for me. First time i got so drunk i passed out. First time i.. well lets just say got to second base as the Americans say. :)

      10 years later 😅. The subway livery when you were writing was the “Carmine and Cream” livery. SPT applied it on to all of their trains, especially in the British rail network. The kept a little of the orange at the front, but the main train, as you said wasn’t orange.

    The drivers are to be sacked as all they do is press a button for the train to move, the trains stop automatically at stations and they stop in exactly the same spot. It is impossible for one train to run into another as they automatically shut off the section behind them. The trais will eventually run by computer like London's Docklands Light Railway

I remember seeing the band Glasgow and unsure of the year im thinking 86 or 87. Fond memories. So sad to see nothing can be done to fix that place up if i ever had a million bucks id come over and pay to restore it :) Another place i use to go was The Venue weekly.. rocknroll !
