The Hidden Glasgow Forums

I was out for a walk this weekend with the brother-in-law guided by the fantastic new "Archeology Around Glasgow" book recently published by Glasgow Museums. We started off at the Starfish decoy control bunker - it is near Torrance but closer to Milngavie. Some of the photos are really bad...

Seconded!

Nice one Potato Junkie

We used to have a couple of starters every Friday in The Montrose. It was a bit of a dive in those days.

Great idea Cell - the essence of Hidden Glasgow. I had a wander on the way home tonight , and was amazed by the stuff I could not find! So many gullys have been stolen & replaced with new cast iron. It's a shame , but currently a problem due to the price of scrap iron. Albert Drive railway bridg...

This one is Butterfield Place in Port Eglinton. The cobbles are the "crazy pave" type which seem older than the usual geometric types ( any clues folks because I have not re-read this thread entirely , only for repetition?) Looking at the old OS maps , this street was originally part of Bu...

One of the remaining tenements in Broad Street will be burned into my memory forever. I was in my first day in a new job , being trained on the job , straddling the apex of the tenement roof - not a good place to be!! A slate roof can feel so insecure - bits move , it is slippy , and it's a long way...

Another Victorian survivor on Coplaw Street at the corner with Victoria Road. I used to walk past this post box twice a day and have even seen it on fire after someone torched it when it was over full near christmas. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3016/2575712479_2466da2249.jpg?v=0

It adds to the taste

The roll was manky , not the van

Fat Cat - you were probably too young to remember (3?) , but do you have any family stories about your Broad Street home?

The area is well worth a visit.

Fordneuk Street in Bridgeton , North of Broad Street. Trackway for carts still in place. Perhaps salvaged trackway kerbs re-used at the edge of the asphalt? Interesting area - you can see the Camlachie Burn if you wander South , with a new aspect due to recent demolition. Didn't get a photograph unf...

Grainy sunset , started life on real film on my old camera and processed through various unatural digital processes since. One of my favourites , because I don't know any better :-E
