It was nice to see a pic of the ABC Riddrie. It was here I had my first cinema experience. A sword and sandal epic featuring an army of golden men who were impervious to the arrows fired at them. Completing the double was a long forgotten western. A double bill of full colour big screen movies. It was 1963 I was 6yrs old only used to the monochrome of tv. From that day to this ive had a profound love of cinema. Even although ive forgotten the name of that first film I saw. The thrill, the excitement the awe , will be with me my entire life. ( ive had numerous haircuts at the barber shop next to it too). Cinema is my second home.
4:05 What a magnificent building. It stood tall and proud like a castle. Later to be replaced by a 'greenhouse'. Never saw it myself but I think if I had my heart would be broken now...
I remember a doddery, old Glasgow Councillor being interviewed on TV just before demolition. He assured us that the City would make sure that a building was constructed that we would be proud of. Look what they built. Utterly shameless people who run our city and country. I never forgot that. I knew he was lying and he knew.
Follow your picture history always. Have you ever come across a view of the interior of of Battlefield Rest showing the mural on the wall of the lady with the caption 'Signal thus to stop the bus" . Please publish if you have. Would like to produce a colour illustration of it. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Some memories last forever.
Thank you is not enough. I'm English but I live in Scotland. What a wonderful insight of times gone by. Your hard work is so much appreciated.
Thank you.

It was a beautiful building that would have lasted for many generations. Another part of Glasgow's history just swept away.

At 2:40 we get a sign: 'Lavatory for Gentlemen.' These days we get a cartoon image of a toy in trousers.

Irish tricolour bus colours put in place by cfc Chairman and City leader. Thankfully they've gone 😂😂😂
We used to say Glasgow was miles better, Now it should " Scotland is miles better in the EU, not ruled by " London" Re-Join by 24.
SNP’s role is to channel every grievance regardless of how small to anti union explantions. The snp are in fact the problem now, not the solution
yeah nothing like being ruled by a lot of unelected globalists....the European farmers are really happy huhh..?
born gorbal X 1954 .best people /friends ever
Anyone notice there’s hardly any litter about in those days, how people have changed, no respect for their country, sad 😢
I agree, teçhnology increases, respect decreases.
Aye, we had no pennies to buy anything 😂
You received a fine in those day from police foot patrol, neither which exist today.
