I was born at 9 Bedlay st on 1st August 1966 then moved onto the Red Rd flats in 1968. So many great memorys growing up. Sadly mum and dad are no longer here they would have loved these brilliant videos 💙
I was born in Glasgow in 1941 have been in the USA for 50 years, I'm a Baptist minister, married an American 46 years ago. have two children an five grandchildren. I frequented quite a few of the bars in Springburn and in the city. I became a Born Again Christian in 1973. I am proud of my Scottish heritage, but I am now proud to be a Christian and an American.
I was born in Springburn 1958 was reborn 2008. I am now a grateful spiritual citizen of Israel, and bodily of Scotland. Part of me expects to be raptured and taken home to a place which has been prepared for me by the Lord. May the shield of faith and the sword of Truth protect you always. - Peter in Christ.
My Mother Morag Henderson and Father Robert Workman both came from Springburn,sadly my Mother passed away aged 73yrs old on the 22/08/2016 she would have liked this film,thank you very much.
I was born at home at 36 Petershill Road Springburn in 1957. Not only does the place of my birth no longer exist but that section of Petershill Road doesn't exist either. There's a pathway instead. And in place of my house are a bunch of trees at the back end of the firestation which stands on the spot of the back courts where I used to play and run across to visit my granny in Auchentoshen Terrace. When I started primary school id Cross the road to Bedlay Street then walk across Paddios Park, the place I first kicked a football, The park no longer exists but is home to Petershill F.C. it was this team in their old stadium further up Petershill Road where I saw my first football match. At the other side of Paddios Park I turned left and there was my school. Hyde Park primary. Im surprised the building still stands. Practically everything about Springburn I remember from my toddler days is gone. My grandfather's Butcher shop on Springburn Road was knocked down to build a motorway and his house on Balgray Hill knocked down to build flats.old Springburn might be dead and gone but the memories live forever.
Couldn't agree more. What possessed them to even think of demolition rather than refurbishment? No doubt they will say it was more cost effective to knock down and replace them. However, when you see that the Red Road flats have been constructed and demolished and compare the few tenements that have been restored eg.Petershill Rd.,Mansel St Barclay St . it tends to undermine that contention.
It could only happen in Glasgow they in power went out their way to blitz springburn and many other parts of Glasgow good old labour these buildings should have been kept renovated Glasgow is still recovering to this day glaswegians have had a raw deal with housing
A great compilation, many thanks. I was looking for the Springbank nursery I went to in 1963. It was set on a corner, slight sloping block, with nuns and maybe near a baker. I now live in Australia and hope to return and see the site (probably gone now). It would be nice to see the place anyway, hope you can give me a clue, thanks.
Liked the photos of Colston where I taught. 1989 - a momentous year. The demolition of the Berlin Wall and of Colston Secondary. Which do you remember most?

Tories?- easy to blame but Springburn always returned a labour MP until recently and for many years labour was in power and still Springburn was left to rot
Left the area in 1962 but don't remember Springbank Nursery in Springburn.There's one in Paisley if you Google it you can get the post code and then go on Google Earth and zero in on it. Sorry can't be of more help. BTW the clip is taken off an old video tape put together by the late Andrew Stuart which was given to me by an old friend. You might like to try the "Reminiscences of Oldspringburn" site - there's folks on there who may know about the Nursery you remember. Good Luck.

thankyou for upload well put together parts 1.2 and 3
They were dirty but fine buildings. Pity they didn't just renovate.
What a mess the Bruce report made of Glasgow. Sad. Worse than the Blitz.

Labour have let Springburn rot
agreed, iv stated my case
Ya brain deid prune.
Springburn been burned and ripped apart where's the great SNP they hav made it worse the worst place in Glasgow now
Spring burn was demolished long before the devolved government and SNP leadership. You can thank Westminster and the Tories.
