My Glasgow

Some images of my home city Glasgow, the way it was in years gone by, the Glasgow I knew and loved as a kid. It's changed a lot from those days, some say for the better.....I suppose it has.....but I loved the old tenements, the dirty back courts were our playgrounds as kids.....Sure it could be described as a shit house.....but it was OUR shithouse...lol. -Kenny

I'm a Gorbals Guy but served my time as a Plumber in Govan and the Plantation great places.

Some magnificent buildings. If only they had just renovated instead of demolishing.

I first visited Glasgow about 30 years ago having lived in a small town on the River Forth - all i knew about Glasgow was what id read in the papers and seen on telly - it was weird - form the first time i stepped foot in the place it felt like coming home - i moved to Glasgow shortly thereafter and have been here ever since - i always wondered about that sense of belonging then i had some research done and discovered back in the late 1800s my dads side of the family had all lived in Glasgow at 135 Stobcross street - my great great great grannie died at 159 Shamrock street and the very last name on the list was her son who had exactly the same first and surname as me - he lived at Parliamentary road - so if your from Glasgow and your last name is Ferguson we might be related from the same g.g.g. grannie

I loved watching this video it reminded me of the old good days. They were good because people knew their neighbor and nhad genuine friends, I also liked the song and music.

***** Cheers EM....unfortunately the neighbourly thing isn't what it used to be.......a great shame in my opinion.....it's what bound us together back then. -Kenny

[@starofdavid9919]

Govan was a city within a city in those days, busy and full of shops, state of the place now.

[@totallyamazing36]

Simpler times Kenny.....aah the memories......you wonder if the changes are really for the better......time never stands still....you wonder why we all were in such a big hurry to grow up?.....great trip down memory lane my friend....makes me think of my own childhood and the sweet times too.....glad to give this song another listen.....
I like it..

Hi Kenny, we are at the age when we reflect on the past and how great things 'used to be', what we all forget is for today's kids, 2015 is going to be the best years of Glasgow! ha ha I am enjoying your rendition of Rod Stewart's classic. Well done buddy. Thumbs up

[@totethatgun]

elvidinck Your right of course Mark......when the ids get on nodding terms with 60 they will look back also and reflect on "The good old days".....lol. Thanks for the thumbs up buddy....much appreciated as always. -Kenny

I loved the photo of the beautiful flats on Pollok Street, Tradeston.
It’s so sad they pulled them down to build a scabby industrial estate.
