Weans “watchin yir motor”. Known as the local Tramp Tax.

no.1 Menzies St in 1954/5.....then we escaped to East Kilbride when my dad got a job there.

Bridgeton Main Street.....now the busiest place is the "health centre". Don't worry - justice is coming for those who destroyed peoples' lives and livelihoods.

21:51 fun oot he wis dylexic

I used to play football in the garden at doctors building think it was with doctors receptionist son we went in trough door you see at side

It was what they called the parochial hall, and it belonged to Sacred Heart primary school..Don't remember ever using it though. It always appeared to be rundown.

God how i miss the dalmarnock of my youth

Paster Jack Glass he's a gas gas gas

I look marvellous in that pink jumper

How was the tea?

My grandparents and mum grew up here the grahams. In a prefab I think. All gone all sad .

It’s sad when you had your good old days in such dark and bleak times

Is Darren going to be sending the rest of the bairns to Hutchies aswell? Just how much compo did he get?

Born in 1945.. Lived at 517 Dalmarnock Rd across the street from Tenant's coalyard until 1954 then moved to Toryglen. Then to Toronto in 1960.. Accent's the same as the day I got off the boat.. 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great photos mate

I think the above photo was part of Sacred Heart Primary.

Recognised all the streets, and one away from there over fifty years great memories

As a R'uglen boy we would often pass through Dalmarnock and Bridgeton on our way into Glasgow, or when paying a visit to the Barras of a weekend. My father often mentioned the cottage type building on Dalmarnock Road at the bottom of Springfield Road, which I think was Dr Shea's surgery at one point. It's @12:00 in the video. The peculiar thing about it was the chimney above the doorway, which I've personally never seen on any other structure before or since. Thanks for sharing so many old photographs, it's great to take a stroll down memory lane now and again.

Amazing that the community centre and playpark that where demolished stay now as waste ground. The new Park is at the new builds far away from the old flats and families there so kids can’t go unattended. Why they never kept the old community centre and park fort hat side of the scheme is just stupidity!

Went to pirn st school in late 60s good to keep the old photos

The real Dalmarnock has been gone a lot longer than this.... This was only the remnants of what Dalmarnock truly was up until the early 70s.... It ended up full of junkies from every low life part of Glasgow

Dalmarnock church on Springfield Rd, I erected the scaffold to demolish it many years ago.

Gg

we lived at 237 Dalmarnock Road, above Adams fish chip shop.

Quality video cheers for the info and help with geography

If this is supposed to be dalmarnock why is most of it Bridgetown some mile end parkhead and lbrox flung in I know boundary's between first three can be blurred but Ibrox it's the other side of the city

Her voice lifts the spirit x

Whats the verdict now.. Overall then, Did it end up being a good thing or a bad thing for the people of Dalmarnock ?

Has anyone els noticed the sound comes and goes… ???

Yvonne managed to get about 8 grand out of the community 😂

Went to pirn st then to st .marys kerr st late sixties Lotta memories coming back

i was born on Swanston Street in 1958. The son of Irish immigrants, I had one thing in common with all my neighbours; poverty. But we thought it was great.The midden between the tenement was packed with kids. Perrywinkles and a sowing needle; heaven.

They are always good auld days because you were young, or at your peak. Despite the poverty etc etc. We had our freedom. We enjoyed and appreciated any pleasures we got as much as kids do now with their satiating abundance. Fitba' in the street, building dens, watching guys fleeing doos, out all hours, bath on a Sunday night in a tinnie. stockings round the fire at Christmas and grateful if you got a bar of chocolate in them. Are kids any happier with their £200 mobile phone than we were with a ba' at 2/6d? I mean, you never go back in life, but between The Old Gorbals and Castlemilk, I only have fond memories of childhood yet many will pour scorn on it all.

I wish they'd kept Dalmarnock Power Station. It was quite a landmark and could have been converted into something else.

murrys bar across the road.

Awww memories. we lived 237 Dalmarnock road, above Adams fish shop.

Also, Rod Stewart is as English as Bowler hats and cricket

I have a great game, Watch from episode 1, and every time you hear the word legacy, take a shot of vodka

Thanks John, Well done to Yvonne Kucuk, really gave a legacy Her legacy was stealing at least £8000 and her legacy will be doing community service for 220hrs, Hope its picking litter up in Dalmarnock in and around the people she stole from

A nice mix of old Brigton and Dalmarnock photos. Cheers, John

34:19 it doesn’t look 30 years more like 60 years

A nice wee bit of nostalgia.fond memories.

I liked the show and the lovely opening song. All in all, a great social document.

Dalmarnock's rough as old arseholes. I got my face slashedw wide open down here in 1985. Guys came up and wanted my trainers and top. Wouldn't give it over so got my cheeks slashed wide open. It was the day of the 1985 Scottish Cup final. The summer earlier we'd had the Doyle family murdered just a few miles away in Richazie. That's the way Glasgow was back then. At least in the east-end

loved the slide show brings back fond memories..... Thanks

Its Bridgeton not Dalmarnock.

Couldn't understand a thing that first guy was saying!!!

the Strathclyde Cinema, later the Bingo was in Summerfield Street where I was raised, not Strathclyde Street which was at the other side of Dalmarnock Road. I lived in Strathclyde Street after I was married.
