Hard to say, but probably Queen St Station (inside though, not the awful exterior). I still get a rush of excitement when I walk under the fugly 60's block into the bustle of people, rumble of trains, smell of diesel, and get a view of that roof, I could almost feel the whole place. Quite frightenin...

I'd love to meet those guys, Still Game is fooking brilliant

I'm glad Greg Hemphill (allegedly) reacted like that, I'd have done the same if i'd gotten any hassle

A workmate once saw Ford Kiernan walking his dog though a Knightswood park. He gave him the finger 8O Who did what to whom? Oops, I actually meant Greg Hemphill (I always get them two mixed up :oops: ). He gave the finger to my workmate. But to be fair there was a bit of provocation. Hmmm, maybe I ...

I spoke to Paul Young (the old actor bloke from the 'Hooked on Fishing' prog) in B&Q a while back, he asked me where the bin bags were

I'm trying to find any old images of or containing a bus stop... not just you average shag-behind-the-bins-stop you get these days, but an nice old cast iron type. I've looked through Argyle St, Buchannan St, High St, Hope St, Union St, and Sauchiehall St on the Virtual Mitchell but I'm not having ...

The Drumchapel village post office building is still there, but with a few new bits built on each side. Away wi yi man, where exactly? 8O Yep, it's now called the 10'O Clock shop, a general grocers/newsagent/off licence. The post office bit has been squeezed down to a small desk inside. Amazing how...

More great photies :D The Drumchapel village post office building is still there, but with a few new bits built on each side. A WWII bomb landed just up the road from there, it knocked out the windows of the PO, and blew down the end wall of the church 8O (Not the little Parish church in the photo a...

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a302/GLASGOWMAN/Drum4-1.jpg I'm sure I read in a book ('The Drumchapel Story' I think) after service the cannon was buried in the foundations of Maryhill Barracks. Then the council thought it would make a good plaything for the kids, part of a cheapo adventure play...

BRILLIANT pics HollowHorn, just the sort I was hoping to see.

Any more out there ?

Over a span of about 20 years, the council knocked tenements down to open up the area, fitted new windows, new fencing (twice), built a recreation/youth centre (the blue building, it's still there) sports pitches (made of that rubber stuff, which the neds hacked up and burnt), clad the walls, and la...

Does anyone have photos of Drumchapel, from Victorian days til the 70's ? I'd especially like to see some from the 1950's-60's. So much of the 1950's estate has gone, no great loss but 3 generations have grown up there, it'd be a pity if no one had taken a few snaps. Here's a few I took earlier this...

In the old days they would have gotten a 3 day suspension for having unshined buttons 8O Plastic doesn't really shine in the same way though Alan True, it's a shame though, the old double breasted green uniforms, with their brass buttons, looked very smart 8) Yep, flats are planned for the old Knig...

Doubt it, they are total middens. Although those purple uniforms don't really lend themselves to looking smart.

There's a few pics of the closed Knightswood bus garage on this site. http://www.geocities.com/glasgow_bus_pictures/knightswood.html The large shed at the rear, and the fueling, washing points, have since been demolished. It would be nice to have a nosey round the admin block, & the maintenance ...
