The Hidden Glasgow Forums

It's amazing what you can turn up on Youtube. This video is fairly awful it has to be said, but does feature Tony Sheridan with Glasgow's own Bobby Patrick Big Six. They feature from about 30 seconds in then again at the end. http://youtu.be/A-RUv267L9E Excellent find. They played Hamburg like a nu...

Got emailed thes pictures, the National Carriers depot on Springburn Road roughly where Lidl & Costco now sits. First pictures I've seen for ages that still has the tenements on Auchentoshan Terrace which were demolished during the 1970s. http://i62.tinypic.com/axe4ch.jpg http://i57.tinypic.com/...

Possilpark maybe, to the East or West of Saracen Street? Lot of tenements no longer there around that area, streets like Stonyhurst Street and Bardowie Street.

There's a picture of Clydeholm on this Clydebank site http://www.clydebankprogrammesonline.co.uk/Original%20Clydebank%2014-31.html.

I'm not saying it is a ship but when you zoom right in it looks like the shape of a ship (same shape as the Queen Mary minus the 3 funnels) at John Brown's Shipyard. I have also been told (by my brother) that the race track was the original football park of Clydebank Juniors FC . Having zoomed in o...

It took them 8 working days to come out than what was stated up to 20 working days so not bad, however no call or doorbell. They took everything including metal panels which the adviser at the council told me on the phone it wasn't allowed I guess chance your luck with any items you want thrown awa...

I've mentioned elsewhere that I've worked in Glasgow Council's Polmadie workshop for 26 years, but we've been shipped out an the building has been demolished in the last few weeks. Here's a then and now from just about a month apart! I'm a few yards out with the second pic.

I'm going to go along to find out precisely when it became affectionally known as The Clockwork Orange. Any ideas? Do tell when you find out please Dexter, I've never heard it called Clockwork Orange, I've seen it called that in print loads of times though, but never heard it verbalised . Me neithe...

It could have been yer actual non-Spiderman Peter Parker who did it, at 08:45 on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGeHgdMVujM Embedding disabled :roll: Its earliest sighting on film at least? "comfort and quiet running"??? 8O Is this a different Glasgow Subway situated in some paralle...

It's a place that many people will be unaware of unless they have used the civic amenity facilities over the years. The council in their wisdom have sold most of the site off to Viridor, who will demolish the current transfer station and vehicle workshops to build a new all singing and dancing facil...

Glasgow Council's disposal facility at Polmadie is due for demolition in the next couple of months, it was built in the 50's and the site has been sold off to a private company (Viridor) who will now make a profit from the city's rubbish.

One not on the thread are the public toilets that used to be in Vulcan Street in Springburn. Filled in long ago as part of the "regeneration" of Springburn, but I can remember using them as a nipper.

Where were you standing, then, top of Quarrywood or further round on Ryehill Road?

Corner of Scotsburn Road and Ryehill Road, I only live 5 minutes walk away.
