I was born in Houston street near the Glen and soon moved to Mackie Save in Chapelton . I attended Chapelton school as well as Jean street school. When I was about 10 years old I won the "The Peter Stanton progress prise" for Mathematics ony last year at Jean Street. Nice to find out about who he was even if a bit late My parents moved to Glasgow road and there was a Provest lamp outside our close I think my mum said his name was Stanton Same person?
Don’t know if you still use this but do you know of any Dunlop’s or Dunlop McGonigles still in port Glasgow? Me nan grew up there and attended Clune Park School.
@@ianmcgarrigle9510 Ah ok. I went on a genealogy site since and there’s dozens of people that are all related to me. Some had moved to London at the same time as me nan but have since lost touch.
@@Epidian I went up last year, I’ve got pictures of me nan in her class photograph in front of the school. Was gutted to see the school abandoned and in the condition it’s in.
my father lived at 84 ardgowan st in the early fortys...he told me stories of the nights in the air raid shelters....he then worked for harland wolfe shipyards before coming to america about 1949 or 1950...

My Granda Gibson lived in #7 Argyle St. I remember the wee cornor shop. I can't remember if the name over the shop was called Stevenson's or Stevens. I always thought they should never have torn down those streets. They were good solid buildings. If they had have renovated them instead? I think they would still be standing today. That's how well built they stood!!!
Seems electricity has isolated people from one another; no more gas lighters, listening to radios and watching tv indoors, less interaction amongst the community. Thank you Hugh for your story, I found it picturistic and poetic. God Bless, Mike
Thank you Ian for your story, it touched my heart. My father was from Scotland, and he was very resourceful in getting us kids entertainment, he would find all kinds of stuff for us from dumps and everywhere (alot of times it was embarrassing) but I miss him now. I am born and raised in North America, which is where my father went to after WW2. Thank you again Ian for your story (I wish my father could have done this on his life) Thank you Ian, God Bless, Mike
Thank you so much for telling us your story. I am from North America, and my father is from Scotland, he passed in 1980. My father also served in WW2 as a Stoker on a ship. Your story made me feel at home, Thank You again my freind. God Bless, Mike
Hi there...wonderful story Alf.. I rather suspect that my father in law's mother Mrs Agnew was the women in your story. She lived in falconer Street around then.
Nice to hear your voice again Nanny x
Priceless.
Lovely. My mother and father were both born in Port Glasgow, and one grandfather. Only Mother remains, now 93. She’ll enjoy seeing this.
What a man
Compelling biography that left me open mouthed and wanting a cuppa with two sugars. The doughnut was delicious and purchased fourty years ago
My, how things have changed.....
