Bought a map of Glasgow NE 1895 (also includes same area 1858) from Alan Godfrey There is an interesting article, with this map, by Dr Gilbert T Bell where he states that, Arrol's Bridge and Roof Co, Germiston, "besides the obvious products, produced the giant Ferris Wheels which were erected i...

My child hood stamping ground, we used to fish for baggie minnies and sticklebacks in it. Besides from where it ran under a road or railway it was largely unculverted and as I remember the route went, pre M8 of course. From Huggie, under the road, through Pinkertons' rhubarb field to Riddrie Cemeter...

Are you sure it's a cap badge? I worked as a bus conductor and I seem to remember that there were certain council (corporation then) employees, George sq. types mostly, who had coat of arm badges, gold or silver, depending on seniority or position, mounted in a leather wallet that they would show as...

Golumbs ; that is they say a blast from the past. Survived into the eighties according to some of the guitar forums I found. Where was the Rooster? The musical instrument shop was in Stockwell St I think, the record shop in the Gallowgate was a great Saturdays meeting place in the 50's and 60's. (w...

Good on you my son CB. Lets get back to DEES. Levi stay press, skinners, Fred Perry T shirts . All paid for by provy cheque. O the nostalga of it. There's a whole mod shopping history lost round there, Dees, the "Barras" itself, the shoe shop on Schipka, and , ideal to use up the dregs of your chec...

But rangers fans apparently have difficulty with the shop. I think it's the insistence of paying for the goods before leaving the premises. What is sectarian about Dexters quote ?[/quote What about stereotyping a body of people as thieves? Moreover, as a wild guess, what's the betting that dexter s...

Here is a celtic fan apparently have difficulty with this website, I think the problem is making any communication without sectarianism. Have you ever heard of...

Bottom right is the Doobie Brothers I believe.
Copy in local Oxfam, unsold two months, is it any good?

Sketch at this address.

What they should do, is get the former members of 60s gangs to come out of retirement and take these little pretenders on.. The 60's gangs were just as bad (see earlier post re. Sept 68,), and don't let anyone tell you any different. Mind you, they more or less invented the graffitti that the middl...

Shame to see the place in such a state. There used to be a shoe shop there, one of the busiest in the city.

Many years ago Glasgow had tightly organised gangs with hundreds of members each, there's nothing like that now, just loose gangs of pissed neds. Was there less violence then ? The answer seems to be yes, but I can't understand it :? They were exactly the same in the 1960's, and the level of violen...

How can they get away with writing this sensationalist crap? How can they describe these nyaffs as fighters, unless it's to glorify them. Is there ever any real gang fights? The main damage I've ever seen is to bus shelters or innocent passers by, the guy who's walked his girlfriend home, the person...
