I took her indoors to a Killie game on the way back we had to wait on the train

We went into a pub (think it had a tim)near the train station place was rocking with 70/80's music/ singing

We stayed for hours and had a right good time

This place, Buc?

The wee dairy in the picture was there when i was a wean, only back then it was cheese cut by wires wrapped in greasproof paper, butter came patted with wooden paddles, and bread was fresh every day. A few doors up from that there was another pub called the auld hoose with again tenements above, in fact there was tenements right along that road and my maws auld school right behind, good memories, thanks for they nice words Buc, you're a gentleman.[/quote]



Saw the pic and laughed brilliant. That's it

My sister has a pent hoos near the canal and that's the closest bar..

There's even a highland chipper the kilt wearing chip shop owner finishes early on a Saturday night what's left he just gives it all away amazing stuff you get things in Glesga that you never get in Aberdeen where everything comes with a price..

Just had a look on google earth. Strange they've left that one tenement, as you say everything else appears to have vanished. There's no other homes near it, looks closer to Possil than Springburn. What was the area classed as??

Springburn.look at the old pics of it wang, it was an extremely industrial area, very large train manufactures where thousands worked, the great british locomotive company, they used to take the giant locomotives through the streets down to the docks to be shipped all over the empire.

Cheers, that's one district that seems to have suffered the most at the hands of the bulldozers. Madness.
