These photos have so much atmosphere about them. It's revealing to study the people closely. Those about to go on holiday in the photo at 8.00 seldom get away from home and they are naturally happy and good-natured here. I'm about the right age to belong in that picture, and I still remember the excitement of going away on a long train journey. By contrast, the following photo of the two men slumped on the ground at the Broomielaw is particularly sad. Did they ever in happier days get the chance to go on a holiday?
That’s not true, there was lots of homeless back then too, you just didn’t see them sleeping rough, they went to “models” like the Great Eastern and the Bellgrove hotel to sleep….
As much as i look back at these times with nostalgia you did see a lot of sad sights - Very poor people who clearly lived in models and a lot of people with disfigurements - I will never forget the day i saw two men go into a shop and one of them looked exactly like the man in the film The Elephant Man - The poor man
Home sweet home love this city 👏👏👏👍
Magic - the look on LuLu's band - The Lovers - faces. Only in Scotland - look at the guys faces - absolute total and pure Glaswegian coupons. 😊
You can take the boy out of Glasgow, but you can't take Glasgow out of the boy.
Great to find a lot of Glasgow photos ive never seen before as a lot of them you usually come across have been doing the rounds for years
Thank you these wonderful memories of the best City in the world 🤗
Thank you, memories are who we are.

Glasgow is the star of these photographs.

I hope the two men at the Broomielaw were dreaming of happier times.

These photos were before we had homeless people…most British people had homes then…

The is before Maggie Thatcher sold off all the council houses. Now if you get a council house within 12 year you've a friend in a high place.
@@2wittysue535also stopped people getting a months rent and deposit up front. It meant that if you found a place then you could house yourself.
If you look closely at the picture of the Clyde with the boat in it ,you will see two homeless souls lying sleeping.
