by: Jackie McNulty Fond memories of my early years living at 130 Abbotsford Place 1959 - 1971.
Remember the Lynch family and Mrs Peat from the same close. I think at the bottom
of the close there was a laundry and on the other side some kind of shop, but
it later became someone's residence. The Fourways pub sat on the corner. Right
across the road was Abbotsford school, played football got chased by the janny.
Round the corner in Devon St was Leanords the newsagents, Keatons (deli?) and
the homes of my friends Gerry Colqhoun, John Arniel and David Howie. Used to
love playing 2 man hunt, hide n go seek, kick the can and numerous other games
in the 'backs' along with climbing and dreepying over the dykes (I suppose they
should be called walls now). Round the next corner in Eglinton St, there was
Rinas greengrocers and a great shop (can't remember name) where we used to buy
single fireworks and yes it was myself and friends who used to throw them up
the closes...sorry! (If I found my kids doing that now...) Also living in Devon
St were the O'Doherty family (relatives) and the Heaneys (more relatives) I
would love to hear from anybody who remembers me and/or can fill in details.

Submitted
by: Alex McEwan Accidents. There are 2 accidents that stick in my memory and I wonder if anyone
from the Gorbals can recall them. The first was the death of a young girl who
was knocked down and killed by one of the RAF lorries based at Richmond Park.
The accident happened on Rutherglen Rd at Snowden St where she lived and was
due to be the May Queen that year, which I think was 1942. The other concerns
a collision with a bus and another vehicle opposite the Ritz Picture house at
the junction of Caledonia Rd and Rutherglen Rd and was in the winter of 41 or
42. Some of the casualties were taken into closes at Braehead St, awaiting the
ambulances. As a youngster these memories have stuck with me and I wonder if
they are correct.

Submitted
by: James Toll Women with rollers in their hair, kept in place with a scarf and pushing their
prams full of dirty washing to take to the steamie. Taking their rugs outside
and beating the hell out of them with a stick. Hanging washing out to dry on
a clothesline fixed up on the outside of the tenement window. Making big pots
of stovies because it was cheap (and tasty). Whitening the edges of the doorsteps
and stairs. When having a christening giving a biscuit with a coin inside to
the first child you passed who was the same sex as the baby, for good luck.
Nippy sweeties, dainties, crisps with little blue bags of salt, road tar going
soft in the summer heat, bogeys made of old prams, going to watch weddings as
a kid just so you could catch the pennies that were thrown. So many memories!

by: Moragh Klinginsmith I was born in 1957 and brought up in Lawmoor Street with my gran and grandpa
Willie and Peggy McCallum, who then moved to Queen Elizabeth square, and I moved
with my parents to St Ninians Stirling. I still remember my pal Eddie Bagan
who went to St Francis school, I went to Camden St. I also remember when Eddie
and I were very young, his dad Franky Bagan and my Grandpa Wullie taking us
to a junior cup final at Hampden and Eddie getting lost and the whole of Lawmoor
St spending the night looking for him. Eddie's mum was called Gertrude Bagan,
he had a sister called Elizabeth I think. I remember Jackie and Katie Purden
from Queen Elizabeth square, and there was a crabbit auld bugger called Cutty
who used to to be drunk all the time and would chase us into the cemetary. My
dad came from Black St in Townhead, his name is Duncan Thomson. My mothers name
is Mary Fraser McCallum and they still live in Stirling. My mums sister Isabel
married John Stewart and moved to Castlemilk. My uncle John sadly passed away
a few years ago. My 3 cousins Margaret, Janet and wee Isobel still live in Castlemilk.
If anybody out there remembers any of the people mentioned, please get in touch.
P.S. I also remember Dirty Maggies comic/book shop.
Submitted
by: Ian Thomson I remember wee Murrin's in Sandyfaulds Street, and I also remember Tommy Malarkeys
roudn the corner in Mathieson Street. I am not sure if it was his sister who
worked with him in Dirty Maggies in Rutherglen Rd. McLintocks Factory Sweetie
Shop was where you could buy a penny bag of mis-shapes. A hard bag contained
toffees, humbugs, etc and a soft bag had marshmallows, macaroons and fudge.
I remember Greasy Peter's, the fish shop and his wife was called Pat. My uncle
WULLIE (Birdie) DORAN drove a horse drawn milk float for Hamilton's Dairy across
the road. He used to take us for a 'run' in it on a Sunday and we all loved
it. McNeil Street was a great street most of the time. If you made too much
soup, you used to take if down to somebody who wasn't working and get your pot
back the next day. My father BILL McINCH had an allotment out at Braehead St
and used to come down the street with armfuls of lettuce, tomatoes, beetroot,
sybies and flowers. My sister Betty used to get sent round to all the old women
on their own with littles bundles of veg and flowers. As Mary Robinson wroter
in her email 15.04.03, her mum used to say "There was more good came out of
the Gorbals than there ever was bad". How true! This site has brought back so
many memories. I went to school - St Francis and St Bonaventure's with MARY
FOSTER and MATILDA (Tilly) MULLEN. Mary married Jack Gordon and moved from Cramond
St to East Kilbride. Tilly married Joe Simms and moved from Moffat St to Govanhill.
I would love to hear from them.
Submitted
by: Christina Philbin (nee McNinch) Hello David Kerr, I too have heard all about Dan Cronin from my father Jimmy
Philbin, who managed the Pig and Whistle pub in McNeil St all during the war
years. I also went to St Bonaventure's school with Martin Devine and Frank Cousins.
Martin had two sisters, Isa and Delia and we all played in Moffat Street with
Joe Beetan.

I am sure some Gorbals boy or girl will be able to help. Thanks for reading
this message.

Norfolk Street for most of her working life.

by: Ruth McGowan I am currently researching Gorbals life for a play I am designing called 'Bread

and Glasgow Arches in June. I am trying to find out any details of single tenement
life that I might not have come across in my research and wondered whether you
might be able to share any with me regarding the interiors, clothes etc. Also,
there is a character called Miriam and her husband Alec who work in a garment
factory (making greatcoats for soldiers) and I wondered what they might wear
at work - a special dress/apron/overalls? I would appreciate any help you might
be able to give me. Many thanks!
Submitted
by: Jon Bausor Browsing through this great website brought back so many wonderful memories.
I went to St. Francis and Holyrood. We lived on Thistle St right behind Hospital
St and the weighing machine, and I can remember when they built a bigger weigh
machine and the little brick hut. The workmen told us kids they were building
a swimming pool, we were so excited but alas, they were taking the mickey oot
o us. I would love to hear from any childhood friends or if anyone knows Irene
Oliver, Betty Gallacher, Clancy, Ruth Ferguson, Madgie Drummond to name a few,

very well, Jim married Fay Alexander who's mother was my moms 2nd cousin or

been Ann McAndrew Gordon and David Gilmour the Hendry's top floor. Next close
56 Cavendish Street McDonagh's, Milligan's, Bonnar's and Fletchers, there was
a spare piece of ground at the back of our tenements where our moms and dads
played rounders with us wains on summer nights. We also held bonfire night there
and it was quite a turn out. We also ran along top of the dykes from midden
to midden, so many memories. If anyone remembers the Williamson's or McLeod's
please leave a message.

by: Eileen Henriques (Williamson) My dad George Lennox Keir was born at 153 Gloucester Street, Glasgow on 11.07.1932.
His mother was Mary Low (nee Lennox). I have discovered many of her relatives
on the origins site and would dearly like to find some descendants that are
alive today if possible. Thus if anyone knows anything of the following people
and they could let me know I would be very grateful. John Lennox married Kate
in 1922. Lizzie Crockert Lennox married George Bennie in 1925. Janet Rodden
Lennox married Alexander MacKenzie in 1909. Annie Davidson Lennox married George
Munn in 1908. Mary Lennox who married James Low in 1919. (James died in 1930
at 153 Gloucester St, Glasgow). My dad was brought up by George Morrison and
Elizabeth (nee McLaughlan) Keir in the Gorbals until he joined the Royal Navy
in 1950. His friends knew him as "wee jordie". If you can help - thank you.
Submitted
by: Majorie Creek (nee KEIR) My true Gorbals icons, Dan Cronnin the Gorbals gangster with a heart, he would
come up the street if somebody's furniture was out in the street to be avicted
and he would pay the debt and that was a man with a heart. Then there was Maw
Devine, Martin Devine and Isa from the bookies. I would go in with a line for
my father for four bob and Isa would give me two bob back for school. Maw Devine
would have all the old neighbours in at night to watch TV. Sometimes I was included
as my Granny Maw Pattison was one as was Calligan, Dalton and Russell. Old Tam
Russell another great, Mick Kelly, Barnies Bar we used to take in the empties
let the door swing then back out with the same old empties and back in with
them again, you soon got the money for the Pictures as they used to say it has
been the greatest education I could ever had to be a Gorbals Boy. One day I
hope to be able to sit down with my own grandchildren and tell them my experience
of my days in the Gorbals and all the good people.

Submitted
by: William Haggerty This one is for Tommy Deehan who has such vivid memories of his days with the
Rancel. I remember the team too... or more accurately, my mum washing the team
strips in the sink at McNeil Street. You did well remembering Shug Wiseman and
Tommy. He and my dad, Billums Taylor and my uncle - Davy McLean were great mates
and ran the team together for a few years in the fifties. My dad claimed that
they "sold" Pat Crerand for a set of strips and some corrugated iron... me thinks
this may have been something of a tale but hey who knows. He had a similar story
for Frank McLintock! Anyway, its nice to know that there are still some folks
out there who remember the good ol' days and that they weren't all about razor
weilding and money lending... as my mum never tired of saying, there was more
good folks come out of the Gorbals than there ever was bad! Best wishes to you
all... Mary.

by: Mary Taylor (Now Robertson) My grandfather was born in Glasgow and his family ran a pub called Molloy's
in the Gorbals for a number of years (my guess would be between WW1 and the
end of WW2). I have occasionally heard the name of the pub in connection with
Benny Lynch the boxer, and have spoken to one or two people who were in the
pub itself many years ago. I was hoping to find a photo of the bar (through
a photo archive service) that I might be able to buy. Or any other info that
might be of interest. I have checked the virtual mitchell website, so far with
no luck! Any info that you (or your parents/grandparents) might have would be
great. Such as, do you know which street the pub was on? If you think you can
point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful, thanks Sean.
Submitted
by: Sean Molloy Does anyone remember me (I was known as Ludo at school). Schools were Oatlands
Primary and Adelphi Secondary. My family ran the fish and chip shop in Braehead
St at the corner of Rutherglen Rd, next to the Braehead Bar and just across
the street from the Ritz picture house. I left Scotland in the seventies, went
to England, then New Zealand then moved to Australia where I have been ever
since. Would be interested to hear from anyone who does remember me. Or if you
don't remember me, perhaps you remember my brother Aldo? He has just returned
home after visiting us here in Australia.
Submitted
by: Louis Ulivi Just a wee short note to remind all you lovely Gorbals people of the mighty

with more details, please do not hesitate to ask the master.

Catherine. Any info would be appreciated, my father passed away seven years

by: Maurice Coyne Who remembers "Wee Murrins, Murns" on Sandyfaulds Street? Her wee shop was
to the left of the gates to St. Francis School on Sandyfaulds Street (The infant
playground). She was a wee, tiny woman and only came up to the top of the counter.
She sold glasses of ginger in wee whisky glasses for a penny a time. She sat
by the fire in her wee shop and wore a shawl over her shoulders all the time.
God help her she was the object of a lot of ridicule now that I think of it.
Of course, not by me :) :)
Submitted
by: Margaret McGettigan (Burgdorf) I remember so well "DIRTY MAGGIE'S" bookstore on Rutherglen Rd, also remember
"May Dick's" store which was also on Rutherglen Rd, and the "Cumbie Gang" as

"era". Those were the days!!

McGaughan - I have a newspaper picture of the E.E's from the Evening Times series
Millennium Memories.

by: Anne Johnston My daughter researched this website and I'm overjoyed to read all the nostalgic
reminises of Glasgow and my old stamping ground. No more Barmans left now just
a heap of old grave stones. We lived in the 1st floor tenement at 664 Eglinton
Toll. I attended Cuthbertson St and Queens Park schools. I was born 1937 and
(Freda my sister) 1933. Is Netta (Devon St) still in Glasgow? Penny Bernstein
(Thistle St circa 1940's), a great pal still in America? Mrs Browns Bakery shop
off Gorbals St, corner Rutherglen Rd, run by Issac sold superb cakes, my sister
married him. We also bought Baigell's from Fogell's - great stuff! Does anyone
remember the Sunday night dances at the Jewish Institute on South Portland St?
(Strutting and eyeing up the talent) Plaza Ballroom just off the Toll - Victoria
Rd. Who can remember? Tuesday nights birrowing around the fountain like Fred
Astaire/Ginger Rodgers. Great memories!!!
Submitted
by: Anne Shipper (nee Barman) Hi Sandra. This is from my parents James and Christina Philbin who knew your
uncle Billums Taylor. They remember him as a great character and ask to be remembered
to him. He used to go to parties at my great auntie Hannah's house (Collins
nae Doran) together with his wife Ina who apparently was the most amazing singer.
They remember her singing with the Back Court Parade in the Metropole Theatre.
She was so tiny she had to stand on a box to reach the mike. They have so enjoyed
this website which has brought back lots of wonderful memories - I can see this
is going to cost me a fortune!! Best wishes, Maureen Philbin.
