I'm gradually adding links but I'd appreciate it if anyone has any images, etc (for which they own the copyright or which are out of copyright) that would improve the article. The Cranhill Water Tower in particular would be good, and any historical stuff about the area (links to Shettleston, Carntyne, Ruchazie, Monkland Canal, 'Sugarolly Mountains', etc).
The article is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranhill. You can either add stuff yourself or, given permission, I can do it.
Cheers,

Welcome to Hidden Glasgow.
I lived in Ruchazie just over the bridge in Gartcraig Road. If you look for the Ruchazie topic there is a phot I posted of the other end of Bankend Street. On it you can see the house where the Doyle family lived.
Althought there was regular fights on the bridge between Ruchazie and Cranhill it wasn't that bad an area until about the 80's.
Hope to see more posts from you on either this topic or the Ruchazie one.
