Although I left Glasgow almost forty years ago and moved abroad, I have many happy memories of growing up there. 'Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away, and prepared me for life on the road'. Amazing photos. Thank you.
I lived on Dundas Street from 1947 to 1957. Just up from the train station. My school St Davids primary School was on St James Road. We went to George Square often. Glasgow still in my bones🇨🇦
Mine too. The baby didn't appear to have clothes on. No wonder the British government were very concerned there could be major unrest in the politicised red clydeside especially so soon after the Russian revolution.
@@user-zr9nl2wl3o a lot of people go on about deprivation, slums, even slavery and I’ve commented on photos of black people in America in better conditions than that poor woman and child and told I know nothing and am just being racist, but Glasgow had some truly horrible poverty for many.
It was lovely to hear some Ennio Morricone as I usually put the video on mute and play my own music which is Ennio, John Barry and Enya. Seems to go with the nostalgia. Love it.
Yet another wonderful collection of photographs & memories of far simpler & safer times of the great city and surrounding area's.. Thanks again Glasgow photographs.,👏👏👏👍👍
Also every time there are faces of children I like to pause it and study each wee face, I think it's because they are more than probably forgotten. Especially the pre 1940' s pictures.
Re 9.22.... I'd love to have one of those pennies squashed flat by the last trams in 1962. I was at the Riverside museum a couple of weeks ago and was so disappointed that the gift shop didn't sell anything actually related to Glasgow transport. Just all the generic Chinese made tartan tat. Rant over 😁
