Been In Australia 60 Years, Came From Possilpark, I Love Aussie, But I Still Love Glasgow As I Have Many Fantastic Memories Of Travelling Around Glasgow, Hocking With My Da, Not Many Area's We Did'nt Go Into And The People We Met, Although Struggling, Were Always Cheerful, As, Glasgow People Are, ❤❤😊❤
That was a really enjoyable travel back in time brought back so many memories of my childhood days thank you so much for sharing it with us 👍Happy Days.👍
I used to walk through from Buchanan Bros. Instrument makers in Commerce Street to Gorbals X to catch the 105 Trolleybus to Clarkston where my sister lived. Then I joined the army (SEAFORTH HLDRS) 1957 served 9 years and married ,then came to Australia 1969. Thanks for the memories.
Hi Colin, another smasher - well done, and music great as always. Loved the picture of the mechanical horse, followed by a real horse, a trolleybus and another horse!
I would think the Photo of Celtic Park was taken before 1962. By then the cover on the West Terracing was complete and floodlight pylons had been erected
I sit here having been around the world and thank flonk that I'm Scottish...I have a "T" on standby as the memories make me sad and angry at the hardship we were dealt ..Alba Gu Brath.
Hi Colin, I didn't realise that Cathcart road went that far north but I was wrong. I'm puzzled at the Custom House quay photo. There are boats with tall masts and funnels the wrong side of the suspension bridge. How did they get under it?
Thanks. I might have to dig into that. I think there is only about 1 metre difference between high and low tides on the Clyde. I didn't know about the Rutherglen shipyard.
Colin, if you are still reading the comments, I found the answer. The mast folded down on the Clyde Puffers allowing them to get under the bridges as seen here at 28.04 th-cam.com/video/vXKCn_W9Mj0/w-d-xo.html

Thank you, memories are the key to both the past and the future.
Thank you Glasgow photographs for posting all these wonderful memories of Glasgow & surrounding area's.. far happier & safer times to look back on, ❤❤
Thank you, we are supposed to be living in the modern world, where life should be improving, not getting worse.

Thanks TODD, Hope your keeping well in 2024.
Very interesting particularly so with the addition of captions telling time and place.

I agree, I started going to Celtic Park when I was 12, and that was 1962. We always stood in the Celtic end and it was covered.
At least there’s no pot holes or cctv on every street corner..lol 👍
Another world.
@@colinburrowes8063 totally agree

Thank you for all your effort in finding and presenting these valuable photos. They are living history.
Thank you

I'm afraid I don't know, though there was a shipyard at Rutherglen which built fairly large boats which must have been
brought down the river.

Spent most of my working life in an around Glasgow and really appreciate this great collection of pictures,
Thank you, glad you enjoy them.
Not a piece of litter to be seen.
People cared.
Was George square named after George Houstoun who is my great great grandfather?
Hello Gayla, George Square was opened in 1787, and named after King George III.
Would be better if there was no music but great too see my home town back in the day 😅
That music, aggh! Tapped out
