A wee slice of Glezga life in the city centre at the begining of the 20th Century. :D

Amazing the number of people in the clip. Plus no road safety in those days.

Linthouse, I've traveled through several times. I remember it chiefly as being the cheapest place in the UK to live. When I was looking to buy my my first home, it was 8k for a one-bedroom flat, about 5% of the average UK price. It's probably a lower percentage now, what with the Brits being back on the house price Ponzi scheme and all.

It's now a Hippy bit of BoHo in Glasgow with its own LUV cafe by people who did buy at bargain prices.

As its the 29, so I would hazard a complete guess and suggest Maryhill Road at Sandifield Street??

The sign above the upholstery shop isn't clear but it does look like ........ Street. Note too that the street to the right slopes down.
I don't have the chimney pattern but i think we can discount Cathcart Rd.
