My mum and my gran used to work in it before it closed. My mum said that there where generations of familys working in it, and that almost half of Anderston had a job in it at some point. My own expeiriences of it as a youngster was well aftyer it had closed though. In the first pic behind the large gate used to be a big skip full of rejects from a company who made sporting goods, sutch as footballs, goalie gloves, cricket bats etc...
We used to scale the fence and nick all the stuff before the guard did his rounds. Also, the dead end at the bottom of that enterance was a famous haunt for prostitution. The working girls would be picked up at Anderston bus station and driven round to Bislands. A gang of us used to sneek down and perv, but had to be quick if we where seen to get back to the top of the street, and on to the 'bridge to knowhere'.
If no body's perfect, why practise?
