    Stewart Campbell, off-licence!
    Just around the corner from me. Used it loads of times in the 80's.
    Great memories, thanks.

      Shug, that's spooky because it was literally 50 yards from my house in Daisy St. I used to sneak in as a 16 year old in the 70's and buy cider.

      Yes, the very same Old English cider. Cheap and cheerful. Don't know Ian Perry but I guess I'm a few years older than you.

      It "was" a great area to grow up in.
      Find it so sad to see what it's like now.
      My old house/close was condemned a number of year ago and was to be renovated again. It was beautifully kept when I was a boy.

      All we have are our memories of how things used to be.

    The fine photo at 3:30 of the Caledonian Mansions made me stop and think that although I have known this building since childhood I've never thought anything about it and didn't even know it was so named.
    So I've done a bit of internet research, and now I'm able to say this fine building in the Scottish baronial style was built in 1897 for the Caledonian Railway, and their crest carved into the wall is visible at the bottom right of the picture beside the door. The line led to Glasgow Central and the Caledonian Mansions served as an annex to the Hotel there, an obvious explanation therefore for its luxurious style. It also led down to the former Kelvinbridge Railway station, opened in 1896, and which served to take visitors to the 1901 Glasgow international Exhibition. Those visitors would also have used the Caledonian Mansions.
    So, you live and learn!

      Thank you for the information, I may have passed that building once or twice in younger years. It's a beautiful building and I'm just glad it's still standing.

    Colin, I feel that you are playing to the crowd with the last photo. So much compassion in that expression.

    See how clean even in 1974 the city was 😢😢😢

      The streets were cleaner of litter, as there was less snack eating " on the hoof" in those days, and no shortage of cleansing dept.staff, sweeping the streets, but the big clean up of years of polution from coal fires and heavy industry, that had blackened all the old buildings, had not long started. I remember the shock of discovering that grey tenaments , underneath all that soot ( once sandblasted clean) were actually built of beautiful red sandstone and cream coloured sandstone.
