Brilliant  photos  brings back memories of when  I was  a boy

I would love if the locations were named, I have been away for 65 years but remember fondly walks with my grandpa in the 1940s from his tenement on the High St.. the building with the St. Mungo mural.

I remember  the cafe and the big American motor outside of it

My dad was born in townhead, brought up in mc auslin street the picture where you can see part of Bob Hamilton bookies is my uncle Bobby's place, my granny used to work there cleaning it for him, I  used to stay with my granny sometimes and I can remember sitting waiting  on her finishing her work and uncle Bobby would show up he'd give me a penny or two, then we'd go round the corner to my grannies house and have a pot of tea and some fancy cakes.
I went to townhead baths as a kid, it had separate swimming pools, the boys/men's pool was much bigger than the women's and it had a dale (diving board)  there was a hot soup vending machine and the soup was like hot water knocked stupid, but it had bovril too which was slightly better, no fancy hairdryers or cubicals to change in, just a small space you could hardly turn around in and hooks to hang your clothes on
 It had ranch style swinging doors on  it to cover your modesty, and  you had a ticket to show what number your clothes where in when you where called out of the pool when your time was up.

My dad used to have a wee half in the manx bar ñext to the bookies I still remember the chalk board in the bookies  I stayed in Stirling road

I lived in McCausland Street from Winner Street and half to about seven on the corner of Mick Street. Was Bob Hamilton‘s the bookmakers. He also had a bookies office in the clip of this video. He was the first official book maker in Britain. It certainly brings back memories to me I’m 71 now and it brings a tear to my eye watching those clips of Townhead.

Toonheid or Whitevale (Dennistoun) were my local baths when I was growing up. I can still remember the very very rare treat of having a chicken noodle soup from a vending machine in the foyer of toonheid baths, I think the drinks were 3d and the only choices I recall were the chicken noodle soup or hot chocolate.
The magic of watching a cup drop and fall into place followed by the boiling water... I felt like one of the ‘Jetsons’.

Great video. Amazing.. got to say though a lots of thats no toothed…but great video..old Glesga. nice work Ian.. really great work… thanks big man..

These old buildings...
Just think of all the stories that played out in and around them.
Now mostly memories captured on film.
"And like the snowflake on the river
A moment white then gone forever".  - Robert Burns

Remember the old way in to the A/E room front door with buckets of water outside Royal Infimary you could drive straight through to inside car park

I 'started' at 517 Dalmarnock Rd Brigton and Strathclyde Primary then moved to Corlaich Ave Toryglen in time for the Coronation.
Went to Crossmyloof every Saturday to chat up the 'burds' while my nutter pals went to Ibrox blotto..
Glasgow helped mould me..
Wouldn't change any of it.
