Hi Pal, GOOD to hear from you again, so many happy childhood memories for me, hope you and your,s are well. Love JP.

Excellent presentation with good histopric photos - thank you.

This was one of the first Batman stories I read, still love it, thanks Alan!

He's awesome!

The University of Glasgow Archives & Special Collections hold a diary from the shipbuilders. Every day was complete except on the 3rd of July, 1883 when the disaster happened. I came across it during my internship there last summer. It was harrowing to see how meticulous the entries had been up until this disaster. They go on to write about it the following day.

Interesting Peter thanks for dropping your reel 👍

I lived at 517 Dalmarnock Rd Bridgeton in one of these until I was 8 and then moved to Toryglen, then to Toronto in 1960. 4 Apartments used 1 toilet in the common stairwell ( no basin, no bath..) . I've still got the scar on my palm from falling off the midgey onto a broken bottle. Haw maw...kinye throw me doon a piece an jam... 'Glasgow gave me more, than it ever took away..as it prepared me for life on the road...Billy Connolly.."I wish I was in Glasgow.. Don't lose what it had...please.

1925? 1939?

She looks gorgeous!!! : )

Fascinating stuff, thanks for uploading

brought up at number 9 abbotsford place

My father and his 2 brothers were sent to the countryside during the war as children. Their surname was Foster. Didn't return after the war as both parents had died i believe. would love to know if anyone remembered the family or knew of relatives

the watsons are my family . the watson teniment the grocers on parkhead cross

The Glasgow tenement is as beautiful as a piece of architecture, as it is a good place for living in. You have done it proud. Thank you!

Fascinating!

Thank you for this very educational video..

Beautifully rendered, thank you for this collaborative peek into an artist's visual language and mind, both Joan's and Kate's.

Hello. Thank you for this. Please pray for us all.

Grreat video. I love this portrait. The first ever painted protrait of a kilted scottsman. What I find strange is the way he has pleated his big plaid. Normally you only do pleats on the back, this is why the modern kilt only has pleats on the back and not on the front. He has pleats on the front too. Normaly only the the aprons are on the front. Thanks for sharing. PS. It is a shame that you have added the subtitles in the video so they cant be turned off. I would prefere to have them put on by UA-cam. Cheers from Denmark

Thanks for this great video which I found very interesting as my grandfather Ernie McCormack (1931-2023) was born and raised in Parkhead on Crail street. They were quite a large family of 8 which I guess wasn't uncommon back into n those days. It was nice to see the baths which I always remember by grandpa telling me that's where he learned to swim and afterwards ran all the way back to Crail street to tell his mother, my great Granny. He also spent some time in the belvedere hospital in the 1940s being treated for Tuberculosis. It's the interesting that you point out the air pollution as my grandpa told me that they used to wheel the patients who were on deaths door, out into the "fresh air" on the verandas outside in the dead of winter. Apparently it was supposed to be good for them. I don't think it done any good and they gave up on the idea after goodness knows how many died. It's also interesting you mention it in nice being a minimum Ng area as I remember hearing a story about the whole road sinking into a crater up on nearby Caroline Street. Thanks again

Was there no Catholic schools or churches in Govan....

Good to see Parkheid is'nae missed, btw Charlie's a good pal a mine, we've worked and drank together since I was a teen. East End Community Arts Project is where Charlie and I worked. Many a pint in the Clanny. Love to know who you ur.🤔🤝

EXCELLENT, born ,PlantST, Denistoun, 1936, attended Elba Lane, ST.M ichael's annex, next to E W S SUPPLY, and barrage baloon ,adjacent to Barr's mineral waters, on one side and scrap iron place on the other, or ( was it the granary ) which had a pen entrance, next a home bakery, a news agents and corner off Springfield Road. Rememberd as of yesterday

An excellent presentation Peter. I live in Paisley and recently took a trip to Govan as a tourist. It was absolutely fascinating, in particular Govan Old Parish with it's Hogbacks which I'd urge everyone to visit. The church and graveyard are fascinating. I took lots of photos around the area but sadly missed out the cat on Brechins Bar. It's been many years since I last visited Govan but I'll certainly be back soon. There's a lot of history to discover in Govan.

the cinema is the granada..the car ootsides a lada

Love Govan, changed alot, still the best, 50years here now

I have a copy of the portrait. It’s very old.

This brings back memories. I am 65 and lived along the road in the Tollcross area from 1967 to 1987. I used to range around the whole area of Tollcross, Shettleston, Parkhead and adjacent areas.

You did an absolute stellar job of this. My Nana lived on Glamis Road and her flat backed on to the railway. I don't remember any trains going by though. On a Saturday when a football match was on you could hear the roar from supporters when a goal was scored. I gasped when you talked about Dr Green. I think I was about seven when he pulled a tooth of mine (too many sweeties). I had a hankie over my mouth and a scarf to keep it in place. I had gas and felt sick after it. Using gas was more common then. Dr Green gave me sixpence for my tooth, but although I didn't feel great I said I was okay so that I could spend my sixpence in Woolworth's and I bought a wee pair of binoculars. As a child my aunt was in Belvedere with scarlet fever and another was there with tuberculosis.

25 Methven St.... McCluskey family

Was this outfit recreation ever finished? I'd love to see the final result.

I don't know if maybe the camera is showing a false colors but to me that looks horrid

Excellent video. I moved into Tollcross which is next to Parkhead 11 years ago. So I am getting to know the area.

Fascinating information. If the walls could talk right enough. Thanks for this 🙂

Wow didn't know the building I was born in was a poorhouse in the southern amazing history
