@@brecklander I lived in Annette Street, and it was the Old English Cider that was my favourite at the time. Had a friend Ian Perry that lived in Daisy St. in my primary school days.
@@brecklander I was born 64. It "was" a great area to grow up in. Find it so sad to see what it's like now. My old house/close was condemned a number of year ago and was to be renovated again. It was beautifully kept when I was a boy.
Beautiful hard working city and people. there was a lot of wee cheeky people but people had respect,looked out for each other and was great to see a bustling busy city and shops…..far cry from the city we now live in,no respect and everything shut down…… please take me back😢
The fine photo at 3:30 of the Caledonian Mansions made me stop and think that although I have known this building since childhood I've never thought anything about it and didn't even know it was so named. So I've done a bit of internet research, and now I'm able to say this fine building in the Scottish baronial style was built in 1897 for the Caledonian Railway, and their crest carved into the wall is visible at the bottom right of the picture beside the door. The line led to Glasgow Central and the Caledonian Mansions served as an annex to the Hotel there, an obvious explanation therefore for its luxurious style. It also led down to the former Kelvinbridge Railway station, opened in 1896, and which served to take visitors to the 1901 Glasgow international Exhibition. Those visitors would also have used the Caledonian Mansions. So, you live and learn!
Thank you for the information, I may have passed that building once or twice in younger years. It's a beautiful building and I'm just glad it's still standing.
Colin, I feel that you are playing to the crowd with the last photo. So much compassion in that expression.
The young women looks as if she really cares.
Unusual instrumental Beatles stuff as background music.
Stewart Campbell, off-licence!
Just around the corner from me. Used it loads of times in the 80's.
Great memories, thanks.
Thank you.
Shug, that's spooky because it was literally 50 yards from my house in Daisy St. I used to sneak in as a 16 year old in the 70's and buy cider.

Yes, the very same Old English cider. Cheap and cheerful. Don't know Ian Perry but I guess I'm a few years older than you.

All we have are our memories of how things used to be.
Great pictures & memories as per usual along with some good tracks for accompanying them too..
Thanks for sharing once again 👍👍👏👏

See how clean even in 1974 the city was 😢😢😢
Great To See Those Old Glasgow Registered Number Plates

Just good old Glasgow. Love the City warts and all. Second City of the Empire well deserved. No cross culture nonsense.
Dear Old Glasgow.
