My ancestor was Archibald Campbell who lived at New Stead Place Govan in 1871. By 1881, the family lived at Summerton Road, Murrough Park. Archibald died in 1881 and his address then was Murrough Park Cottage, copland Road, Govan. Three of his sons weer Peter, Dugald, and Alexander and they were timber merchants in Govan. Good to see a glimpse of how Govan used to look.
fantastic to see photos of Peter Monaghan and major with the cuthbertson dairies float i was peters milk boy for years in mosspark area so so happy memories
I was born in Burliegh St then moved to Shaw St ,I went to the Cosmo chippie in Govan Rd and the saturday matinee at the Lyceum to watch Flash Gordon and Old Mother Riley then watched the ships and tugs go up and down the Clyde. I've been away from Govan 35 years but have forgotten nothing , thank you Dutchi07 I thought the video was good enough but the soundtrack made it. Aw the best to all govanites.
I was born in Burleigh St and moved to Shaw St before Pollok and then Kilwinning attended St. Anthonys but still remember the Saturday matinees at the Lyceum , Old mother Riley , Flash Gordon and Pete's dragon , great days and sorely missed , i drive through Govan a few times a year on a nostalgia trip but hardly recognise it from my days.
I lived in Burliegh street to! next to Harmony Row, and lived in Howat Street, off Govan Road ... some 30 years ago. This makes an auld Govanite in Australia, sad, yet happy at the same time!
I see a few people who originally came from Govan and have moved away slag govan and the people off but always forget there roots wethers me have lived in Govan all my life and wouldn't move away as there's a hell of alot of good people in Govan better the devil you know as i say.
I worked in the Garden Festival in 1988. The best work colleagues came from Govan, and I made some true friends. I was sad to move away from Glasgow, and I often wonder how those guys got on in life afterwards. Great times, and a long hot summer 😎
I was wondering if that was broomlone rd school where I went from 6 to 10 yrs of age loved it I stayed in govan rd we had to move cause my dad got a job in central Scotland I was heart broken
+Elaine Deehan Hello Elaine, we lived in No 11 Luath street how nice to know this,men and your brother may know each other ..No 11 was the main door onto the street i went back a few years ago and it's bricked up now .this brings back so many lovely memories . best wishes, Gerry.x
+gerald carey Hi Gerald, I really must drive mum over and see if it triggers any memories, she has severe dementia. Her sister Agnes might remember better, it's a lovely video. x
i also lived at 49 copleland rd two up middle door.live in cumbernauld . went to govanhigh,probably a bit older than Andy Mc Garvie, but i was amazed to see my address of which i have many childhood memories.
I was born in Govan in 1971 and stayed there till '87. The rose tinted glasses some people still seem to wear about the area astonishes me. I remember playing in the back courts when i was a wee boy...dodging peoples garbage and human waste of all kinds...Desolate buildings were our playground. The place was a dump and desperately needed renovated completely. The council renovated round about the early to mid 80's using cheap labour and even cheaper materials that resulted in most of the area having to be re done less than 10 years later. Most of a generation of young men and women fell into the drug scene around about the early 80's and most of those young people are either dead now or in prison. I visited Govan recently and admitedly there are lots of improvements but still more are needed...Before the area falls back to ..."The Good Old Days".
I was born at 14 Drive Road right across the street from Elder Park. The family all moved to Canada in 1956. Sisters Margaret, June, Lynne and Carol if anyone should remember.
ajohms Gordon chalk and his wife Maureen had 8 kids ,,,it had 1 bedroom ,,I used to visit them from Perth , how they all managed in such a small house !!! They all eventually moved to Perthshire ,, I think in the 70s ,, can anyone remember the chalks ??
