GLASGOW PHOTOGRAPHS 88

[@lifelong5425]

The picture of 1953...the year I was born, and new nothing of the world...or what Europe and the UK had been through. People of Glasgow like so many places....just got on with it.....Thanks once more for keeping Glasgow in focus.

Thank you...our parents generation just gritted their teeth and got on with it, no matter what life threw at them.

Lovely video Colin. One thing I've noticed in all the Gorbals photos is that despite the deprivation, the kids always seem happy.

@@brecklander Thanks again, my dad was born (1923) and raised there, and said it was a good community.

Fantastic, wish my auld Maw could have seen these, she would have loved them, and you opened with my all time favourite band ( The Stranglers ) pretty sure the late great Dave Greenfield would have enjoyed your rendition. Well done again guys ,loved it x.

I always love the ones of weans out playing - but the Gorbals Astronauts take top prize this week! Santa was good to them right enough! And lovely Margo Macdonald in her younger years. What a great role model she was for girls my age to speak up and be counted! Thank you :)
