This is the city I was born and grew up in, gives brings me sadness to know this Glasgow has gone but I have the happy memories. Does anyone else remember the busses that upstairs was for smokers and if you went up when it was full the smoke was thick, smell of sulphur from matchsticks striking and people were coughing whilst they sucked down more smoke, empty Embassy, woodbine,Park drive, Bristol and Players No6 fag packets all over the floor .😅 I laugh when I think back how crazy that was..
Yes she does. She talks about it all the time. She said that before the Coronation tram (that type of tram had a seat and door), the trams she drove had no seat (she stood all the time), or door, so the weather just came in. She has albums full of great photos, but I can't find them at the moment. They had a nickname for at the time, it was Miss Smiles, because she always smiled and had a nice personality. She was also a very attractive woman and highly intelligent. She also did some modelling for a catalogue at the time. My mother drove the number 9, so she could be driving the one in your video.@@colinburrowes8063
Glasgow used to be so beautiful. There were so many buildings and areas unnecessarily demolished by the city father's at the time. Glasgow is an absolute midden today.
@@JohnnysCafe_ I agree. I don't even know half of my neighbours and hardly recognise anybody in the street anymore. I didn't notice community spirit when I was a wee boy as like all kids I was busy playing with my pals but looking back now there was community spirit in abundance and I don't see, feel or sense any in today's Glasgow.
Thank the lord I got myself out of those filthy tenement & studied hard . Who in their right minds would want to live in a room & kitchen no bathroom? I much prefer my 3 bedroom home & garden & car etc
I was born in Duke street Hosital in 67. Lived in Corsock st and moved to Ruchazie. Loved the 80s and then left to join The army. 1 RHF. I watched these films and they brought back memories.
My mum was born and raised in Glasgow I remember her telling me the stories and her first job was at the Enoch as a receptionist Ruby I miss you so much 😊
@@Carolinel673I think everyone got the message, you've got a house and a car. Good for you, it must be great being the only person who ever achieved that.
So sad to see how Glasgow is now. We used to have a good tram system in the city then it was ripped up for diesel/petrol transportation....now everyone is banging on about electric cars'n buses...this would cost millions to get back to a tram system. Where did it all go wrong. I lived in Zurich for 20 years and they still have the old tram/electric buses , cars and cycle lanes in the city... Some things have improved but I wouldn't go into the city for a night out anymore.
Those who have made the decisions have tried to save money in the short term, and ignored the future. I think the answers to our problems lie in the past.
No it wasn't. But the SNP are most corrupt bunch of hateful idiots one could imagine. At this point I don't care who anyone votes for but for the love of God PLEASE help your fellow human beings by not voting SNP.

My mother was a tram driver in Glasgow. She appears at the very end of a BBC documentary. She's 87, now.
Your mum must have some amazing memories.

My neighbour whe I lived there had been a clippie on the trams, had some great tales to tell.
My Dad worked on the trams in Glasgow, life was more simple then, now it's all havoc, 😊
I was 4 when the trams stopped running, magical machines. The world now is a very different place.

We are allowing our towns an cities to decay.
It had so much character back then, in the street everyone knew each other and it had a certain warmth. That's all gone now.

@@colinburrowes8063 It's a disgrace.

Mad but this is the world I understood as I sure don’t understand it now.
The real world, before the world turned digital. Technology is the illusion of moving forward, when we are actually slipping backwards.
Join the club mate
I agree with you on that.
Really well said. We're definitely moving backwards but are being constantly told this is "progress".
Did you all not notice the grime and soot that covered the city ,the real poverty and the bad hosing conditions

Left Glasgow 38 years ago but still love it ❤
Left Glasgow 56 years ago at the age of 9, and I feel the same.
Left the SLUMS 42 yrs ago & bought my home & car & would hate my old life
@@Carolinel673 There are slums everywhere including where you live now , I also own my own home and more .What an ignorant disrespectful comment.

@@isking1715 no great being out those slums glad you got the message .
born in Glasgow brought up in Gourock Shawlands 1972 74 still miss it!
Feel the same.
Loved browsing in the Clyde Model Dockyard!
The Clyde Model Dockyard was a major attraction for the children of yesterday.

This is glorious.
It's a city like no other.
Glasgow forever.
Love the accompanying music
Thank you Simon, hope I'm finding music to do the pics justice.
Loved The Prefabs, Brings Back Memories, Out In Jungle, Living In A Tent, Better Than A Prefab, No Rent, Those Were The Days, 😢😢❤
Me too, might be the answer to the housing problem.

Great photos but would have liked to have street names of pictures as some I recognise - others I am guessing
Thanks Tom, in video 32 I've added descriptions, I'll do some more.
The Berkeley casino, I used to go there with my girlfriend and her family every Sunday night.
Hope you were lucky.
@@colinburrowes8063 I never really lost but I never won anything big.
Scotland's own BRONX
We were great then and still are. Just have to get rid of the victimisation preached by the SNP losers.
Oh aye it was all smooth and lovely when Labour were in charge.The on thing is they left a pfi debt of £32billion.We are still paying for it.
We are all victims now.
No it wasn't. But the SNP are most corrupt bunch of hateful idiots one could imagine. At this point I don't care who anyone votes for but for the love of God PLEASE help your fellow human beings by not voting SNP.
No captions to tell us where the photos were taken.
The photos tell you that.
I'll double check.@@gavrfc09

Yes, Billy on his bike.
THEY RUINED GLASGOW !!!
Buildings that would have lasted for centuries, were replaced by ones that last 30 or 40 years.
They not only destroyed beautiful buildings, they ruined communities. We were all proud Glaswegians back then .@@colinburrowes8063
Quality !!! :)
Thank you.
@@colinburrowes8063 thankyvou it was a joy to watch love the old world buildings they should have let them be , so sad !
@@colindevine3233Thanks again. All that's left of old Glasgow are photographs, film and memories.
@@colinburrowes8063 yeah , its so good to see it the way it used to be , and the way it still should be :)
