Glasgow's easterhouse January 2023

a drive from blackhill to easterhouse

[@undertheradar001]

I was in Cranhill during the 70's as a small child. I was taken to Easterhouse often to the pool and to the shopping centre. It was a very rough area but there was some good people in it. I was back there in 2019 and was at the new library and saw that the pool had been converted a little. The shopping centre was exactly how I remembered it in the 70's although with less shops open. Nice to see that some of the area has been redeveloped.

Glad it brought some memories back to you .

Enjoyed that my friend. I was brought up in Easterhouse in the 60s/ 70s. I agree that there were hard times then but as you say lots of good people. Puts me in the mood for a wee run there myself. Unfotunately my old street no longer exists the old closes seem to have bitten the dust! Thank you. A wee subscribe and a like well earned. Cheers

I used to live in Easterhouse in 60/70s and i moved to Manchester in 1974 it shows how different it looks now , still nothing there it has not changed in terms of things to do, empty fields , my late mother said she had really good neighbours when we lived there

[@TyreYaBas]

Mid 90’s, Easterhouse, Ballieston, Cranhill etc were smack central !. Bad habits etc but if nothing else it’s a bit of nostalgia 💯✌️🙏🏻🍻

[@paulfianatravels]

Cranhill had a bad reputation back then

I lived on Lochdochart Rd in the 1980s (that's my block on the right at 14:49 or straight in front of you at 17:01). Big changes since then. It was all tenement closes then. No shops, so we had to go out to Billy's van on Dalilea Drive.

[@paulfianatravels]

Yes its changed all right

[@LoriCiani]

The church on the Edinburgh Road is where I was christened. I also went to Sunday School there for a while. In the late 70s I used to have to sign on at the brew up in Easterhouse. I saw the shopping centre being built. I sometimes went to the swimming baths and occasionally went into the community centre. I painted the Festy mural for the Easterhouse festival one year. There’s a bit of an amusing but embarrassing tale about that. 😄😳

[@paulfianatravels]

Thats interesting to hear

[@thegamingskull4842]

Easterhouse was a good place to stay ,when I lived there it was all farms

[@terencebrannan7152]

Where the big puddle was…was that Lockheed Path on the left….that’s where I lived when I was 5……looked familiar with the green in front of the close.?

I'm from London and it doesn't look anywhere near as bad or scary as the tower blocks and massive concrete estates you see in London. Thanks for the video. London is a 3rd world shi#hole now anyway. Cheers.
