Halgreen Nursery & Langfaulds Primary shout out to all former prisoners. Best Chinese restaurant in Glasgow was in the shopping centre. Clydebank indoor shopping centre finished it. Gone but never forgotten.
Monymusk place,Ladyloan and lochgoin primaries the kingsridge seconary could not have asked for a better life was wonderful then in the 50s and 60s and 70s
Brought up in the Drum loved it and hated it at the same times happy days We where the first to go the new Waverley secondary school when it first opened
I stayed in 18summerhill road 36yrs ago, and it's still there. Barnkirk ave is gone as is half of kinfauns drive. 😮 i had good and bad memories living there, but the bullying was to much so i left. Live in Ireland now❤
I lived on Drummore Road through the 80s and went to Pinewood. Left Scotland 89 just as I started Waverley. I have mainly good memories of Drumchapel. Was a good place with mainly good people. Certainly down my end was nice. The “HILL” seemed less so. My mum tells me we lived there for a while, but as a toddler, an old man hit me on the head with a cup because I was sat at the door. Maybe explains a lot 😂 I spent so much of my childhood in Bluebell woods. Wouldn’t be able to do that these days.
I remember my friend lived at the bottom of Ladyloan. I went round to visit and someone had set fire to a motorbike. Kids were taking it to the top of the hill and riding down. It had not tyres, saddle or brakes. It was amazing fun. Can’t believe we did that.
Lived m in Drumchapel throughout the 80s and have mainly good memories of life there. Lived on Drummore Road toward the Pinewood end and was a good place with mainly food people. Place seemed to deteriorate in the 90s, but I’d left by then. Most of the photos making it look like a bad place are taken from “up the hill” which seems to have been properly deprived. My flat, and a friends a few closes along are the only ones that still stands.
2:33 I almost fell off this roof aged about 10. Playing killer if anyone remembers that game, and lost my balance. Falling backwards, waving my arms comically then somehow fell forwards as if pushed.
Grew up in Bayfield Avenue, left in 78. Loads of great memories, scrambles at the Chapel, stealing sweeties from Clellands. The three high rise flats, Alcatraz, Berlinnie and Carstairs. Dreepied down the Waverley School walls, fun down at the venchie Also helped the Army locate Rats during the bin strikes. Went midgie raking all the time...had loads of pals, we didn't know we were poor, even roses grow in shite..👍😉❤️🕉️❤️
Those same people will be the first to say though that "glasgow isnt bad anymore, it getting gentrified". Gentrified by who though? In england it would a racial issue (like It always is) they are driving impoverished ethics into smaller areas by moving all of the lighter colour folk in, driving the prices up so locals cant afford their homes. Scotland is new to "multiculturalism" compared to cities down south. It's a white country (for the same reason africa is a black country, geology), so who are they moving in to gentrify our areas? What's happening is all of the scum who come here, to not work (there are those who come here legitimately to work and live and integrate), move into the lower income areas, because it's cheap, they can scrounge. The problem is that they are moving into new builds in these lower income areas, which will be turned into shit holes in the near future, and this will the start of racial tensions. We've just come off of decades of gang violence, all of our shitholes are nearly gone and life is better all round. I dont need a crystal ball to see what's coming, and it's going to drag us back, and we'll be the ones made to take the blame, and it will be about race. When the reality is the very racial decisions will be cause by those moving here. They dont integrate and stick to their own communities. And slowly they want their bit here, and we will get looked at like we dont belong here. You just need to look south of the border to see this.
My mum told me that there was a stream running down halgreen avenue when she was a child. I use to stay at my grans. It is all changed now from tenements to houses and my cousin lives there now and he lived here when underneath my gran
I'm a grown man, and this video made me cry. So many memories of this place when I was a child . So many memories of my family. Life was so so simple then .
A bit late in getting to this but what a great compilation. Drumchapel was a big part of my life and shaped me into the man I am now, and I am proud to be associated with it. Like with all your other stuff, well done Michelle for keeping it alive.
They can build what they like but if you’ve got unemployment and poverty you can’t fix the problem ,that goes for any where ,I got out in 19-74 went to Australia worked my ass off for 40 years never looked back ,thanks Aust for the chance of a better life,old jimmy
Probably the best time to go to Australia. Great place back then. Basic culture hard nosed blokes. Love all that. Wouldn't go now it's turned soft and bloody pathetic.
I remember spending my holiday at my grandmother in halgreen avenue opposite the bowling club and tennis courts and there was a youth club at the bottom of halgreen avenue. I lived in Luton and had a English accent. I use to love going to the football on the old corporation buses that were green white and gold. Special after winning at ibrox come on you bhoys in green hail hail
I use to spend my summer holidays in Drumchapel and lived in Luton. I enjoyed it mostly other than when people gave me trouble when they heard my English accent. I stayed in halgreen avenue were they had a youth club and football pitches up the middle. The bowls club and tennis courts were opposite the road. My cousin now lives in one of the new houses were he grew up below my grandmother so there were family born and breed in the drum
I use to visit my grandmother in halgreen avenue and there use to be a stream running down the street. I use to go to the shopping centre. Many good memories. I went to the swimming baths opposite
When I stayed in the Drum,all the houses where still full of families. I stayed Summerhill Rd my da was the janny and my uncle was the janny of Weaverley.
