Used to work across the road at Terleys, the curtain material shop, every Sunday when I was a student in the late 60's.Every week when we turned up to open the shop, the back door had been caved in & half the stock was gone. It was all for quick sale at the curtain material stall in the Barras, the guy shoutin' "quick missis, how many yards ye waantin' afore the polis get here!" haha,most folk thought it was his sales pitch but he was tellin the truth.

Lived here till I was ten at 34 Alexandra parade we then flitted to Easterhouse I was taught to swim in toonheid baths. Went to the Carlton and Casino pictures regularly also played at pinkstone power station at jacks mountain and the stinky ocean. Was also a member of toonheid library where I discovered my love of reading I’m now 75 and read at least 2 books a week. Was educated at Golfhill primary and Onslow drive secondary

Hi Brian, thank you for comment. Much appreciated. I’m so glad the video brought back so many memories of the old Toonheid. As a reader, have you read any of the 13 novels in The Glasgow Chronicles series? The first two novels in the series, Parly Road and Run Johnboy Run, are set in the Toonheid, starting in the summer holidays of 1965, and follows in the footsteps of a wee gang of feral youngsters called The Mankys, whose ambitions are to become ‘doo men’. I’m sure you’ll recognise all the streets, sounds and smells throughout the stories. All the books in the series are available to download on Amazon Kindle from Amazon. Of course, you wouldn’t have to own a Kindle to read them. There is a free, excellent Kindle app available to download from the book pages on Amazon for all Apple and Android devices such as IPads, Tablets and smartphones etc.The first two in the series, Parly Road and Run Johnboy Run, are also available in paperback format, again on Amazon, with free postage to those on Amazon Prime. Kind regards, Ian.

So many great people originate from Possil and one of the oldest districts in Glasgow. Hundreds of years old, Sad to see the decline it has become. Lurking place of Pakistani,Blacks,Halal illegals,Chinese etc Sad for the locals to share the same streets and shops with 3rd world illegals ,all part of SNP / Westminster dumping ground. Make YOUR VOTE COUNT at the ballot box. VOTE against 3rd world settlers.

So I started trying to look up the streets in this wonderful slide show and match them with current Google Street maps thereof, and wow!! It's like the Soviets actually did drop a bunch of bombs on the place and they rebuilt it from the ground up. I can understand ridding the city of some of the truly unlivable areas, but they've truly destroyed so many charming shopping and living districts. Gross overreach in my opinion.

Thanks for posting, takes me back. I'm really interested in the Glasgow Hurricane Low storm which brought death and destruction to Glasgow and surrounding area on January 14th 1968. I can vividly remember hundreds of buildings with green tarpollens covering the roofs. I thought I may have seen some evidence of the storm in the photos as it was such a major event and many photos probably exist. Although I was only 10 at the time it was a night which will remain with me forever. On hearing music which was in the chart at the time brings it all back. Unforgettable.
