The street that has all the bunting is Kelvinside Avenue,where the HLI pub was at the top and the Strathmore Pub just on the corner. The street can still be seen,but with changes in a play ,Just Another Saturday. Filmed on the street 1970s.

My great grandparents lived at 3 Gairbraid Ave. Maryhill in the early 1880s. Thank you for the pictures.

Brings tears to my eyes

[@edwardmcguigan1442]

Maryhill was beautiful like most of Glasgow the town planners absolutely destroyed its way of life and social structure outstanding architecture destruction even a German Bomber couldn’t envisage

[@snelgrave101]

Fun fact: Rudolf Hess (Hitler's deputy) and all round Nazi war criminal was held in Maryhill barracks after crash landing in Scotland in 1941.

Fleet Ya Bass is the cry I heard from there during the 1960s.

[@yesenochwasRIGHT]

Would that be the Young Maryhill Fleet ?A street gang of over 800 members.

[@abw48]

@@yesenochwasRIGHT: Thats the one and the leader was a guy called Remmy Roden, bad spelling perhaps, so what happened to him ?... Enoch was 100% right.

[@yesenochwasRIGHT]

@@abw48 Happy New Year ,take it you knew some members ?
Where was Remy Rodden from in Maryhill?

[@yesenochwasRIGHT]

@@abw48 Lol ,of course Enoch was right and prophetic. What are we going to do about it ,this is the idea behind the name I use.

[@abw48]

@@yesenochwasRIGHT: I was born in Toonheid in 1948 and the Fleet and the Tongs were the two main Gangs in Glasgow at that time, early 1960s,I didn't know any of them personally and didn't want to know them as they were all low life thugs angry that they were born.

[@robertdoyle687]

Loved the 'Gaspipe Road' 😎

[@yesenochwasRIGHT]

2.05 Ruchill Street canal bridge.

[@kr3w4life45]

Kinda sad, the place used to be such a hub of the city and then it kinda transformed into something pretty desolate and anything but serene. I still love it here but god it could have saved a bit more for itself

[@deezrfc]

Some wonderful pics of what was a wonderful part of “Glesga”.
Nothing but happy memories of growing up in the Glenavon road high flats(The three big sisters”in the 80s.

[@alfredroyal3473]

The soul has gone out of Glasgow. I’m not wishing a return to poverty or scabies or rickets, however we have lost something of our humanity. Our “we are all in this shit together” camaraderie has gone. The wee shops, the CooP, butchers, fruiterers, claes shoaps, City Bakeries, in short, community.

[@itsablack1]

I lived here until I was 7 , left shakespear street in 1973..
I occasionally played down on the old yard and station grounds , never felt comfortable going down there ?
Is it not an asda or something like that now ?

[@wulliechristie5769]

It's a Tesco Extra build on the old station, the station still remains below Tesco there was talk that they may open the line back up in the 90's but that didn't happen.

[@giotto4321]

Great set of photos, do you have any idea what the building shown at 2:12 mins is? PS you're missing an 'h' in the title - Maryill ! ;)

[@wulliechristie5769]

Thankyou do not know how I manage to miss the H sorted now.
