Love the randomness of RUclips that this just popped up. Reminds me of my days working in the Drum from 1993 - 2003 & 2006 - 2009. So many of the houses swept away within a few years.
My wife is from the Drum and always talks about growing up in the 90s there. Being from America it’s hard to imagine with her stories and only seeing the new build Drumchapel. Thanks for the video. 👍
I remember my mates family, the mcblain's, moved from our home town of saltcoats about 88\89, to the drum , rayne place,i don't know if that's how its spelled, and going to the house warming, Which, just like in saltcoats, ended up in a fkn rammy with some of the local gate crashers ,nothing bad,coz we were all in the golden garter the next morning for curers to head back to saltcoats on the bus haha.
A housing scheme that failed and let the people of Drumchapel down badly!! with a knock on effect of crime , poverty, caused by poor infrastructure,poor architecture design, poor quality of materials, dampness ,poor services ,all this caused problems with ill health in the people causing stress anxiety and poor hygiene , graffiti everywhere, in the area authorities turned a blind eye on the problems that they were fully aware off,slums ,low employment, some teachers wrote you off and were unfit to teach,family breakdowns,, drugs, alcohol,pubs were making a fortune due to nothing for people to do no crafts , pictures , friendship and support groups ,gangs, knife 🗡️ crime was the only thing,,houses getting broken in to find out more from Billy connolly's guide ,low life expectancy over bearsden a shot distance away , it's not all doom and gloom I was one of the grateful ones who got out and I thank God
Amazing! I grew up on Kinfauns Drive across from the community centre. You don't happen to have any more videos of those blocks? Watching this has brought back so many memories, the good ol days
The original recording had an extra 15mins or so until my mother recorded Coronation Street over it !! If I remember correctly, it showed the shopping centre, Drumchapel hospital, Glenkirk and more. Lost in the mists of time now i'm afraid.
Lovely cover music. Tugged at my heart strings and I am not from Drumchapel but went there a lot in its later years before and during its transformation. What do you think of it now Stephen?
AMAZING ( THE DRUM THAT WE WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN BUT ONLY IN OUR MEMORIES)
