I was born in the early 50s My granny lived in mc auslin Street, and my uncle Bobby had the bookies on the corner of Glebe St and mcauslin Street., I stayed with my granny on occasions, looking back it was rough then, but there was a great community spirit that you don't see much of now, we kids shared more because we didn't have lots of things like kids now. I had lots of pals at my grannies and at home, I was never short of things to do, we learned to figure out things for ourselves, and kept ourselves entertained.
@StevieBlues66 don't know what you mean. Of course I was, I see in your profile that you answer everyone who writes about townhead with virtually the same answer, so I will say to you, that was my childhood from time to time when I stayed with my granny. Now stop yer nonesence and let other folk enjoy sharing their memories and stop spoiling it for folk.
Lived at Cunningham street , then north Hanover street till 1965 & attended city public school ( or St David’s ) for primary 1 - vague memories , but teachers name was Miss McKee ? before moving to Dennistoun, & going to Alexandra Parade Primary . Sad the street layouts there are mostly wiped out now !
I lived at 110 North Frederick Street for a short time 1964/65. I was 6/7 years old and attended St David's Primary for a short time. Is my memory correct ....was the entrance off McAuslin Street .... I'm sure I had to walk past a sawmill on the same side as the school ....../
I'm sure you mean UK government cuts? Anyway, the SNP have the power through the Scottish Parliament to raise money by increasing the tax rate in Scotland. It's strange that everything is the fault of the UK Government when Scotland could solve the problem themselves - but doesn't

Love the naming and numbers of the streets it keeps me from guessing the pictures at hand.
