I went to this school in 1948 and went to John Street senior school and lived in Glasgow until 1981, and then I moved to Western Australia. I love visiting these places in the summer time. Lots of good memories.

I was born at 90 Barrowfield Street in 1955 and my parents and brothers migrated to Australia in 1959. I’ve been back to the street but of course the building is no longer there.

My father, Peter Boyle Jenkins, was born on Reid Street in 1928. He was a conductor on the Auchenshuggle tram before serving in Palestine with the HLI. His mother was Jeannie and his da was John. Eight brothers and sisters, John, Robert, Davie, Jean, Sally, Isobel, Margaret and Violet. They moved to Glenisla Street. He's 86 now and is almost blind, but is still independent and lives alone in Tweed Heads NSW, Australia. I may have been born in England, but I still have great affection for Glasgow and my Glasgow family.

My granny lived in Baltic Street opposite what was a swing park. Lived with her for a short while in the late forties when my dad returned from his war service in Germany. I went to Springfield Road primary school and was teased, not bullied, because I had an English accent ( educated at Control commission school in Germany). However, soon got in with the local gang on boys, running through the back courts to raid lucky middens! Other memories - going to the steamie a few streets away for a bath, Saturday mornings at the Olympia Cinema at Bridgeton Cross for kids films, the ABC Minors Club. My Granny then moved back to Scotstoun to her original flat in Dumbarton Road (No. 1579) which had been destroyed by a German land mine and subsequently rebuilt. But that's another story😢

Thank you for photos. Wonder if you know anything about a sweetie factory that I think was in the Bridgeton area, it was owned by Alf Ellsworth and he supplied the theatres in Glasgow with confectionery. He was a very good friend of my Great Grandfather Sir Harry Lauder.

kpzcbttp Bridgeton had one of the biggest sweet shops called Lennox's it was like a factory to me with the amount of swedgers on display that was the early 70s.

I remember Alfie Ellsworth with great affection.His premises were at the bottom of Savoy St and straddled the Pend which you could walk under and bring you out on The Main St.I flew my Doo`s, or Pigeons (to those less fortunate to have flew,and bred them ) against Alfie,if my Doo,or Hen,was getting the better of his,he would send out about 10 or 20 birds to save his prize possession.Many folk from Brigton worked for Alfie,making allsorts of confectionary,but his work of art was the M.B.Bar,although he made penny Macaroon Bars,if you got a pink one you got another free,penny Potatoes,and white mice,along with an array of other confectionaries. Makes me think back with Joy.

[@shugwhite3997]
