Excellent and moving documentary. I was SO pleased Jack wanted my song, The World Came To Springburn, for this project, and watching the final production brought back SO many memories!
Sad video😡, ( 1960) lived on Bedley St to Midton St. Now emigrated to Spain. I will always be a Springburn boy. Great place back then, I often think of my old pals, how they are and what are they doing. Great memories.
Born and bred in springvale terrace !! Loved Springburn!!
I was born in Coldstream Place off Keppochill Rd now a bus stop not far from Roy St (also gone) we then moved to Northcroft Rd (also gone) I remember Calderwoods Dairy then moved to Dykemuir St. I went to Wee Albert School then Balornock Primary then to Albert Secondary. Springburn had the seven hills…….Petershill/Barnhill/Keppochill/Queenshill/Hillkirk/Balgrayhill/Stobhill….and you could add Sighthill. I remember Woolies, Cameron’s paper shop, Castles records, the Sports Emporium shop where you got the subbuteto football teams, Princes pictures, The Baths, Selyns, Lizzie Maxwells gift shop, Curleys, Beagini Chippie and Santi’s. Yes I may have left Springburn but it never leaves you. Fantastic wee film keep up the great work
Glad we hit the spot, Dougie! Best wishes, the Last Train Team
My mistake it was Lizzie McFarlanes gift shop …..at 63 I’m allowed to make mistakes great memories 😅
Fabulous
BEAUTIFUL SO MUCH IS TRUE FIGHTING SPIRIT IS STILL THERE
We couldn't find any other city on the planet built a motorway through it's centre except Glasgow
I was born in Huntingdon place across from the Caley . I love Glasgow
My late father worked in hydepark, building trains ,it's not the same place.
If you love the song used in the film as much as we did, you can find out more about the artist HERE:- www.boblesliemusic.com/
Like most of Glasgow Springburn has been badly neglected I've see women in foodbanks with nothing helping people with absolutely fuck all now i hope with a new government things might improve not just for the north of Glasgow but the whole of Scotland
well said!
