Submitted by: Adorina D'Arcy May I take this opportunity to wish all Gorbalites the world over a very merry xmas and a healthy and peaceful new year awra best fae Partick ma new home Nan Cameron
Submitted by: Nan Cameron I learned of this site three days ago and I'm now addicted to it. I found connections to several people and have communicated with them. I left Glasgow in 1959 to live in London, before coming to the USA in 1961. I didn't return to Glasgow for 20 years and the change was mind boggling. My brother Jack and I went for a stroll down some of the old streets which were still there but it had changed so much I didn't recognize where I was at times. When we turned onto Oxford street I saw that most of the buildings from the past were gone but, lo and behold, the Oxford Street library was still standing. It was closed but we climbed the stairs and peered through the windows with tears streaming down our 50+years cheeks. We used to frequent that library almost every day where we found an escape from a miserable homelife by losing ourselves in books. I wonder if anyone else rememnbers that library and me. I was born in 1939 on Buchan Street...across from the Gorbals school and have two brothers Matthew and Jack. My maiden nname is Rollins and both my father and uncle had dance studios where they taught ballroom dancing. Feel free to use my e-mail address if you recognize my name. Thanks.

Submitted by: Pat O'Hagan In reply to Gerry Dwyer asking for people who lived at the top end of Moffat Street. Our family lived there from 1952 until we left for Canada in 1963. I knew an Anne McAteer who lived up the back pen close. That family moved to Arden in the late 50's I think. I also knew the Carrols and the Wyllies who lived at 400A Moffat Street. The Wyllies moved to Castlemilk aslo in the late 50's. Sorry but I do not remember your family hope there are others out there who can remember you. There used to be a bakers on Moffat Street who had a back door in your back yard and as kids we would watch the baker make his pies and goodies. I also remember there being a sweetie shop at the corner of the Pen close. The best tablet we ever tasted came from Ellen Reeds, the newsagent's store. Lots of little memories that come back every time I connect with this site. I remember a bookie who was across the street from the Pen but no one actually standing in the pen. We used to get our fish and chips at the chippy near where the bookies was. It was shortly after our family moved to Canada that they started to clear out the last of the people to send them to the ovespill towns. Unfortunately I lost contact with most of our neighbours but I'm sure they went on to bigger and better lives. Hope you get in touch with the people you are looking for. Eileen
Submitted by: Eileen Wilson (nee McCubbin) One of the many things i can remember about the gorbals of the 1960s was all the great music going around. At the clelland bar there was a singer called jamie barnes who drove all the mini skirted girls crazy with his rampant act...there was the portland dance hall where if you did not bother to dance you usually got beat up... there were the juke boxes in the cafes ..there were the back court singers, singing for wallies...there were the drunks coming out of pubs wailing "i belong tae glesga"...wee wummen sang as they cleaned the tenement stairs...men played mouth organs on the street corners (my father used to play red river valley on his)...and one elderly guy said to me one day after hearing someone having a go at the bagpipes: "Son, dae yee know the definition of a scottish gentleman?" I replied no. And he said, "It's someone who can play the bagpipes...but disnae!" colin
Submitted by: Colin MacFarlane Does anyone remember Cal Stoddard he used to jive at the lecarno dance hall and people would love watching him he worked at a small factory up a close in gorbals cross, I used to watch him dance around from my window he was great.

Submitted by: Pat Lynch The Plaza is now pulled down what a waste. I'm sure someone with plenty of money could have opened it and done something with it instead of leaving it lying in disrepair all these years. I'm sure lots of young ones would have used it instead of going into the town to dance. An end to another era in the Gorbals, I wonder what building will be next and I wonder who gets the money for the land as houses are to be built on it. The facade was taken down bit by bit and it is supposed to be built back onto the entrance of the houses.

Submitted by: Rosemary Madden Ten Quid. You could try Glasgow health authorities e.g. hospitals, death registrar etc, you may have to use the Freedom Of Information Act (FOI) or another act, I can get the name of the other act if you want, to get at the facts. Using the FOI they are legally obliged to engage with you. If they dont you have rights etc. I agree someone should research this stuff innocent people have doubtlessly suffered here. Stephen H.

One sunday night after a dance in the communist hall I got jumped on by 2 of the hammer at florence st, yes the cry went out "CUMBIE YA BASS" as 3 guys battled it out with razers and chains.

Submitted by: Carmen Walton Ref: The Cumbie boys. Since my last message i have had dozens of people e-mailing me about the above subject and other matters. Just to clear up a few points:- 1. by the mid 1960s the cumbie was the most powerful gang in glasgow and was considered to be far more formidable than the carlton tongs. 2.the tiny cumbie hung around outside john the indians shop in crown street, the young young cumbie (the YYC) used mostly saint enoch's square as its base and the caley road cumbie could be seen in pubs all over the gorbals (especially the hi hi bar) talking about things that you wouldn't tell your granny about. in a recent interview actor, comedian, robbie coltraine "Cracker" (who was brought up in nearby rutherglen) said hearing someone shout "cumbie ya bass!" was one of the greatest laxatives around at the time. its all in my book about the gorbals which is out next year. colin

Submitted by: Gerry Dwyer Does anyone remember anyone with the surname Waddell who lived in the gorbals or is there any still living there? This could be as far back as the 1886's and up to the 50's or 60's. I am trying to trace my grandfathers family. Mother Jane Rae, father James Waddell - kids John, James, Mark and Helen. My grandfather left the gorbals round 1920-24. It's not much to go on, but its all i have. Thanks.
Submitted by: Eric Waddell I was born in Elmfoot st in 44. I went to st bonnies. My grannie and granda lived in Logan st, their names was Mc Creadie. My ma's name was peggy, her sisters names were Raechel and Martha. Her brothers names were John, Jimmy, Tommy and Eddie. My teacher at st bonnies was Miss Docherty, her name still gives me cold shivers doon my back. I played in goal for St.Lukes boys guild. A couple of the boys in the same team were Tam Irvine, Tam Docherty and Tommy Green, what a team we had. I remember the washie in wolsley st and the hot wall where you heated your hands going to school on a cauld morning. My ma and da lived in a room and kitchen and the set in beds that we had me and brother were at one end and my sister slept at the other end. Yes we raked the middens but we were hoping that we could find some woolens to take to the ragman and sell, the money wisney for food you hoped to get enough to take you to the ritz or the paragon or the bees. None of the mothers was scared to let there weans out! for they knew they were safe, we didnt have paedophiles roaming the streets, they would have been murdered. We never had to worry about getting cut by a dirty needle as for women hanging out dirty nappies that is rubbish! A woman took great pride in all their washing and the nappies were brilliantly white hanging on the washing line in the back courts. One year 55 I think st lukes won every trophy that their football teams could enter for. The evening times put a centerfold picture showing all the players and trophies with the headline, "this is the good that comes out of the gorbals". Millets in Argyle St did the same thing in their front window. I like to think that we have all moved on to a better lifestyle now, but I am one kid who will hold his head up high in any far flung corner of the world and say yes I came from the Gorbals and I am very proud to say so!
Submitted by: John Marley Does anybody out there got any information on my grandparents Charlie and Jean Murphy? They had 6 children whose names were Charlie, Michael, Randy, George, Willie and Jessie. They lived in different streets in the Gorbals, these included Mathieson Street, Lawmoor Street, Florence Street and Nicholson Street in the 1940's and 50's. I do not know much about them and would love to know what they were like. Sadly Michael and Randy have both passed away in the past 3 years, also I lived in the Hutchie-E block on Sandiefield Rd from 1973 - 1981, so if anyone out there remembers me or my sisters Theresa and Annie drop us a line on this website. Hope to hear from someone soon.

Submitted by: Karrie Bragg F.A.O. Billy Dock Honk Kong - Hi Billy I think you would be better trying to get the Glasgow site as this site is mainly for the people that lived in the Southside of the city mainly the Gorbals people. The blue stuff that you were talking about was called Genian Violet don't know if that is the right spelling, you used to get it put on if you had a "Scabby" mouth or a sore. Hope this helps you. I know people who were Bridgeton born so when I see them I will ask the other things you want to know and post it on here. Amelia

Submitted by: Andy Magennis Hi looking for anyone who lived in the Gallowgate around the 1960s. I am also looking for the name of the Bridgeton Cross Clinic that was near the Bru (dole)..The street name and the Clinic name would be help-ful. I used to run around with my arse hanging out my trousers with a shaved head (due to lice) The clinic would generously splash on this purple Paint (can't remember the name?) The walk of shame was in order in St Marys primary School after the clinic. I also suffered Wring worm and was made to swallow a sweet sickly liquid, that would always make me vomit? If anybody can share names or any information about this period in the Gallowgate, i will be one happy camper. I am very wealthy and live in Hong Kong, i never thought i would make it this far. I try to explain the past to my wife and she finds it hard to believe.....It would be great to talk with someone, who was there, i know their out there. Speak soon. Warm Regards, Billy Dock

The bonfires at Guyfox night and when the War ended. Trying to locate my second cousin Ian Gregg of Townhead. Son of Robert Gregg, 106 Caledonia road and Nancy. Really enjoyed this. I live in Texas now.
