GLASGOW PHOTOGRAPHS 69

[@georgerichardson7728]

i don't know wether to laugh or greet when i look back in time like this, I guess its best to be just thankful for the memories and living the best years Glasgow had in my youth.

[@colinburrowes8063]

Thank goodness we've got our memories.

Just come across your channel guys, WOW... simply great !!!. My old mum was born in the Gorbals in 1933 and always told us kids stories of old Glasgow, she missed her city so so much after we moved south to England way back in 70. Sadly she passed away recently and I would have loved to show her these old images ,she would have been over the moon. I would like to thank you all for sharing these pictures with us all and giving me an insight into what my old ( MAW ) Was telling me about for many many years. Thank you guys and God bless . Glasgow ,wow what a City . x.

Thank you Billy, I'm glad you like the old pics. My dad was also born (1923) and brought up in the Gorbals, it's good to see what life was like in these days. I'm sure your mum had many interesting stories to tell you, about old Glasgow.

Another fantastic collection of photographs of Glasgow & surrounding area's, triggering great memories of happier times in history.. Thanks Glasgow photographs for sharing.. 👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@colinburrowes8063]

Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed the pics.

[@George_in_Howden]

I look forward to seeing these photographs trigger the imagination of how our parents and grandparents,(great-grandparents for some) lived and worked. It also shows how Glasgow has changed . Thank you for compiling these videos for all the see and enjoy.

[@colinburrowes8063]

Thank you George, as you say the old pics really get us thinking.

Thank you again Colin. In the Belvidere hospital wash house photo, I found myself wondering what the hanging basket with plants was all about 🤔

Grew up in Govan in the early 70's and the Gorbals kids picture was exactly like our front door with the wee-non existent front gardens with the railings cut away to feed the WW2 shortage of steel/iron, before being part of the diaspora to one of the already damp & decaying new schemes with few shops and no community. Nobody realised they would have to be able to suddenly afford a washing machine because there was not only no Steamies, but no launderettes! But och! Poor Sunak not having Sky TV as a child. Many miles away from it now, but I do miss the ships at New Year sounding their horns at the Bells!

[@margaretmcguire1177]

Also grew up in govan early 70's, hopefully sunak has got sky TV now cos after Thursday he'll have a lot more time on his hands to watch it 😊

[@colinburrowes8063]

But poor Mr Sunak has to worry about what to do with all his billions of little pound notes.

[@brecklander]

At the risk of politicising Colin's excellent channel, I've got to agree with you. I'm really looking forward to waking up on Friday morning 👍😊

[@brecklander]

I believe that the cut down railings were never actually put to good use but the symbolism of it was important for morale.

Thanks Dougie.

Amazing the amount of cobbled streets, I wonder if these cobbles remain under the tarmac today ?

[@colinburrowes8063]

As far as I know, the cobbles were just covered over.

[@andrewheaney6858]

@@colinburrowes8063 Cheers Collin great pictures mate, I grew up in Glasgow in the 60’s but a lot of the pictures still have a familiar feel to me, even though they’re much older

[@davedoogan6650]

Whatever happened to Maclachlans Beer , Keen & Clear ?

[@mattnimmo]

My dad was the janitor, at Bluevale School, in the 'sixties but it was in Abernethy Street; could the street name have been changed?

[@colinburrowes8063]

I don't know who she is, but you don't need knickers when you've got a fur coat.
