that's a real old fashioned narration from a distant past

Born in Gilmour St Gorbals.1950.Stayed in single end,ma da and 7 boys,oldest brother stayed with granny.
Eventually flitted to 3bedroom house in Carnwadric 1961.
Hard times growing up but all survived to work hard and prosper.👍👍

Two comments by the Professor at the hospital made me smile.
The first was his comment about Glasgow being a 'mixed city.'  For those not familiar with the euphemism, he means Protestants and Catholics.  Crazy to think of that term being used.
Secondly, he also mentions Glasgow as having 'a large foreign population.'  Given that this is early 1970s the foreign population in Glasgow at the time would have been absolutely tiny.

Perhaps a Glaswegian would have been better doing the closed captions?

They cc's 😂 great upload; a fine testament to the ever-evolving Glasgow City.

Thanks for this v interesting in knowing what came before me. I was born in  1970 and don't remember the m8 construction. My mum and dad had a flat in Craigie hall street, a tenement. In 75 we moved to Penilee with our own garden , toilet , kitchen. Growing up i knew of slum areas such as in Govan and near by. Growing up i didnt feel that i came from those areas and had a good childhood.

The colour tint makes this all but impossible

That bandstand in Kelvin grove was in a state if dissrepair for about 35 years, from the mid 1980s til recently when it was fully restored and now hosts live music.

Ignore the subtitles as most of the time they are way off the narration.

“Whatever the intentions of the walkers with the long memories’’😂😂

Jack House knew everything about Glasgow…what he didnt know wasn’t worth knowing ‘Mr Glasgow’ 😊

Many memories of hame. Bulit me my person I am today.

Safe passage to wide as fuck. Treble wide Disney even come close.

You look after Glasgow and Glasgow will look after you. Under the radar to exposed wide open.

Plain for all to see but could never make you out.

Ma ain.   Loved always from here to there and then some.

As the wee wummin says. It's the people. ❤❤❤❤

What a interesting and informative show this is . When they built the Queen Mary Britain was in a deep depression and all parts of the UK benefited from it . The  anchors and chain were made in South Wales and carpets and furnishings were made all over . After seeing the state of the ferries being built now the shipbuilders of the Clyde must be turning in their graves . And the good people of Glasgow put their bankers in prison what would they have done to Fred the shred . I'm well past my sell buy date but I hope someone can bring this country back to the way it was as shown here .

I'd forgotten the Glasgow polis used to wear blue shirts.

You’re subtitles could do with a wee bit of work. Apart from that, interesting 🧐

Great vid...next read THE REAL GORBALS STORY amazon

Paddy’s market was full of rubbish being sold.
