Loved watching this again. Brings back so many happy memories.

Ok I was in one of the first families to be housed in Townhead after the war from Turner st slapup Dudley Drive was my my home and it’s still in the family The wee fort was originally an anti aircraft gun emplacement jurying the war Then used by British rail as a rail siding The wee wids and the unknown were my my back garden and Dudley Drive was our fitba pitch as no one had a car Long before Townhead primary was built Tay street was my school Great place to grow up in the 50s and 60s great time to grow up in happy memories running riot in these streets every door open and a piece n jam and a poke o chips was always gladly given in Dudley Drive

Lovely trip down memory lane. Grew up in Derwent Dr. However, I don’t recognize the back lane the I grow up in. Spent my childhood with friends playing in these lanes with only short fences. We always played in each other’s gardens. Cant do that now it seems, without being closed in.

I went to St Bartholomew’s in the 1960. What Miss Mellon could do with a leather strap on the palm of your hands. Beyond painful. It’s amazing that we never told our parents about her nastiness and no school member would challenge her.

Just saw where my dad's sister lived in wye crescent change from the last time I was there in the 80's thanks

My dad live there in wye crescent before he moved to fife

Thanks for this series, left coatbridge 50yrs ago. Liz Morgan, my first girlfriend lived on lomond Rd and I used to to go visit my aunt Mary reilly on dudley drive using the bus temimus terminus. I used to have to run around all those streets looking for Joe Hegarty's van of an early evening. Anybody remember Joe? Would love one on espieside if you ever get round to it, born and raised in espieside crescent till I was 4.great work and thanks for the memories.

can u mind rugby posts on the right hand side of gartgile Road at the Townhead end it always seemed strange because it was right next to the tarry burn

What was the white fort? growing up know one seemed to know for sure growing up 🤔 also what was old grettas building originally?

All my family lived in lomond Rd the clares the burnes the finnigans Bella finnigan was my great gran

Deary deary me, you bams never give up. Sad sad people get a life

Fantastic video. Brought back many a memory of growing there in the 60s. St Bartholomews, the shops in Leven Rd and the Tarry Burn. Thanks

Your right Owen it will always be my

Kathie, I think Townhead Part 1 was a lot better than Part 2, maybe because I spent most of my time on that side of Townhead.

I knew George well,I remember your house top left hand side of Dee street.

This was so Lovely, I grew up in Dee St. Townhead and this has brought back many fond memories. Thank you so much.

Hi Tammi, will think about doing a video of Espieside and Gartsherrie to finish the Townhead Trilogy. Will let you know

OK...that age old question comes up again... R we 'espiesiders' part of townhead or not? I MEan, I thought mark miller was from Blairhill... Surely u can include espieside as part of townhead.. Also, it'd be gr8 2 know some of the history about the place..The only bit of info I have is the name + what it means... please do an espieside 1

Love it... but ...the music? Come on...

i can remember Elders, my mum getting her messages on the tick book, (had to be paid by Friday/Saturday)

Stewarts Grocers next to John O'Neils and then Fruit shop.

Great work Ricky , camera work & music spot on before and after shots brilliant . Well done for all the hard work.👏👏👏.

i lived in 71 Derwent drive, also Eric Barrett(Jimi Hendrix roadie). R mc G rings a bell!!

First pictures you can see my gran’s house on the corner before you went up the hill. She lived at 92 Doune Terrasse. Annie Bowden.

Well done Ricky. You have collated a fabulous nostalgic revisit to a time most have forgotten. Thank you for sharing this with us and hope it brought back happy memories and not sad. Thank you. On another note, for your Part II, why don't you show a video of the railway line from Townhead, the Container Base, through to where RB Tennants were, then out past Carnbroe to the cottage which backs onto the A8. That's an interesting journey. M

The white fort was a sheep dipping station. 👌🏼

Great Video Ricky! I stayed in Teviot St for 30 year's, I think you might know me? The phone box scene, if you look closely at the brick wall behind the phone box. There was a lane here that took you to the back lane at Derwent Drive. Also, the road from the White Gates to Glenboig, I recall this being called the red ash road? Thanks Kevin McCormick

Grew up in the 60s Lomond Road. Brings back so many memory's as a child. Family name was Curtis

Hi , you dont know how lucky you are to be able to look back at videos like this, i came or should i say proudly i come from T ownhead . My family stayed in dochart drive , my names not important but i remember you davy !,!, Swiggy, the second best musician to come from Townhead, how could you possibly beat "Rab and the Toalets" or even brian barry and his band at the tower bar ? Parker Browwn , big Tosh, wee mc cormick , ricky on drums and the legend Harry Harris on guitar , not forgetting Peter Grant on keyboard. Anyway , wullie rutherford , your next door neighbour is still a legend , if you needed a wing man, Frank Fennessey , led Zep freak, and body builder if you needed a drinking partner! He was the man. Then there was T ommy Mackie, he d shag yer granny, but shed think he was doing her a favour😂. I hope youre doing well Swig, B.L.

It's a changed place .n people can say what they want .But watching all those streets just brought back so many memories .love townhead always .
