Thank you, Andrew. I haven't come across this link before. Well, my girlfriend in Glasgow referred to the demolition of so much good (and bad) of Glasgow as being the work of the 'demolition boys' who were in somebody's back pocket or vice versa. Springburn, for example, had many fine Victorian red sandstone buildings, all pulverised into dust to be replaced by what I refer to as Moscow style apartment buildings. As mentioned in my last e-mail, Springburn in the north end of Glasgow, depended on Cowlairs, St. Rollox and North British Locomotive Works to provide the economic health for 30,000, a small city in itself with every shopping requirement met in Springburn Road. Springburn was a working class community of decent hard working people. It 'unhinges' one to read that the poverty level in Springburn is at 40% and that it has the reputation of being crime ridden. To be asked: Where is the Springburn (Glasgow) that I used to know? http://www.mysongbook.de/msb/songs/g/glgothat.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSQt37Q1Ins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu49CdlnaMo A link about the infamous Gorbals: (For those not int tune with the Gl;asgow speech pattern!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu49CdlnaMo Maisie -----Original Message----- From: Andrew McCletchie via Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2015 1:47 PM To: lanark@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Lanark] Some of Lost Glasgow Hello all, Speaking of 'Lost Glasgow' have a look here http://urbanglasgow.co.uk/ Go to the old photographs and see what has been 'lost'. I'm only an 1/8th scottish with my GG GF from Glasgow and am bewildered at what happened to the historical social fabric of the city. Have a good Christmas everyone.
