Interested to read that about the Irish connection with these shops. There's still a Curley's in Belfast wonder if it's the same? The other grocer's in Saracen Cross was Galbraith's but my granny preferred Curley's
My dad had been the manager of most Galbraith's stores at one time or another, including their biggest store at Halfway. We ended up in Springburn because he got the flat in Kay Street, when the manager of the Springburn Road/Kay Street branch didn't need it.
