I’m a 1st generation Aussie.My dad came from Maryhill.He lived at 34 Napiershall Street,Maryhill.He along with my grandparents and uncle migrated to Australia in 1959.All my great grandparents died during the war years and my great aunt had already migrated to Australia in the 1930s,so my grandparents decided to make the move to Australia.
Husband had an aunt and uncle in Kirkland Street , then moved to East Kilbride .
Looking at these Pictures makes Me sad , realising what this City once a Powerhouse in all glory is now a complete and utter Cesspit. Destroyed.
100% agree with you !
Aunt lived in Ayr street
Is that Braidfield Secondary School that I see at 0.32?
Yes that was Braidfield
@@wulliechristie5769 Ahah! My old stomping grounds. That's the first I've been able to find Braidfield on YT. Thanks for posting that, Wullie. I understand that the school has now been razed. Seems shocking as it was a brand new school when I went there, and was lovely. I'm sad that it's not there any more.
@@dorothy8495 I went to Braidfield left in 1983
@@wulliechristie5769 Ahhhh. I went there in 1963/4 (or was it 1962/3?). Then my mother made me come to Canada with her and my sister to join my father. It was all very much against my will and there's not a day goes by that I don't think about what I missed.
@@dorothy8495 Clydebank went downhill, I moved away to London for a while, then came back and moved to Glasgow
My first home when I was married was just off Maryhill Road in Dalmally Street. What a thriving area it was then, mid sixties, full of butchers, bakers and all sorts of other businesses. We had a nice little two roomed flat and we lived off one wage with rent, electricity, phone and wee holidays. These days the young can’t afford to rent a one room flat.
I left for Australia in 1992. Can't say I'm homesick but I am nostaligic. It's not the same as when I was a kid
So much that should/could have been saved. Very sad.
Lived at 122 gairbraid ave, from 1976, loved living in maryhill.
Lovely, cheers Wullie .
Remember the blyswood picture hall
I drank in the HLI pub the Viking TUC club
Nice pics, but some descriptions would have been nice?
AND SAD IN A WAY !!
QUALITY !!!

I was born in Kirkland Street my Dad was good friends with Andy and Jean Mason of Masons bar. I was named after Andy a great man.
Hi Wullie, Neil here, was wondering if you have a picture of Sandyfauld St. in old Gorbals 🤔 … I was born there but have never seen any photos. 🙃

Love this - How’s about some caption information Wullie 🤔
👍
@@billy9816 I will start doing captions, mate.
The streets in the city centre look so clean and well kept. Shame it's not the same now. Great pics as always Wullie.
That would be excellent, really great photos, well done . @@wulliechristie5769
Use to visit my mum's parents in Glasgow in the sixties. Big large tenement,no grass just mud everywhere, ( so much for white privilege, white privilege my arse ) large gangs of kids and large packs of wild dogs. The shops windows were all boarded up and you had to look into the door to see what they were selling. Would go and visit my uncle, auntie and cousin over at Easterhouse where the razor gangs hung out, Frankie Vaughn ,a singer, use to go up and try to mentor them. Poverty was everywhere, drink was the big problem then but I've never met more funny and hospitality people in my life, I love them to this day. That's why they need to get rid of Useless asap he has NO love for these people.
WTF are you on about?
@kevinmcmullan1827 razor gangs from easterhouse your talking bull,Glasgow city centre ,Bridgeton,gorbals etc ,in easterhouse they used swords 😂
Anybody remember the razor gangs ?
Kin yer mither sew?

@@johnmurray8454.. We arra Brigton.. 😉
It was a bustling, busy place. City centre was alive. Look at it now, anti car nutters have emptied it. Argyll St and Sauchiehall St are cowps, dumps. 70 years of socialism plus the latest SNP nutters have killed it.
The soul has gone out of Glasgow. I’m not wishing a return to poverty or scabies or rickets, however we have lost something of our humanity. Our “we are all in this shit together” camaraderie has gone. The wee shops, the CooP, butchers, fruiterers, claes shoaps, City Bakeries, in short, community.
When I see what Glasgow Corporation and all the other idiots did to my City it makes me so angry, Wee Men in Grey Suits ruined our City 😡 from Glasgow 😎👊🇬🇧
Yes : the brown envelope recipients … no wonder Edinburgh laugh at us. 😢
Cracking photos. The girl blowing smoke around 6:00 was my auntie Violet, the photo was from a book about the Gorbals with pics from around the time she was growing up.
I wonder if auntie violet knew " Alex Harvey" 🏴✌️
@@JamesDickson-vs5of i'm from the gorbals x born 1954 .a harvey was in my aunties class
Never forgotten.
2.05 Ruchill Street canal bridge.
1.59 bridge over River Kelvin still there just off Maryhill Road going towards Dawsholm Park.
The street that has all the bunting is Kelvinside Avenue,where the HLI pub was at the top and the Strathmore Pub just on the corner. The street can still be seen,but with changes in a play ,Just Another Saturday. Filmed on the street 1970s.
I’m a first generation Australian.My father was from Maryhill.He live at 34 Napiershall Street.My grandparents,father and uncle left Scotland in 1949 and moved to Wollongong,New South Wales.Cheers to all my long lost relatives from down under.🇦🇺🏴👍
By the mid 70s Maryhill was on the slide Thatcher Finnish it of now its a right shitehole a haven for drug dealers sex workers and ever sort of pervert and degenerate you can think of even the birds fly upside down because there's fuck all worth to shite on

I was born in Duncruin St. June 1939 and lived there until 13th March 1942 when a German bomb 💣 persuaded us to flit 🏴
To see Old pictures of Glasgow in all of its Glory even with the slums of the old Tenements is something else, Our architecture is second to none. Now it’s a Cesspit our City has been ruined with crap buildings and Student Accommodation. WTF have they done to Glasgow. It was a powerhouse now it’s a Sinkhole.
Greetings from Wisconsin. Love the visual of life as it was
Loved the 'Gaspipe Road' 😎
Fun fact: Rudolf Hess (Hitler's deputy) and all round Nazi war criminal was held in Maryhill barracks after crash landing in Scotland in 1941.
Done my apprenticeship, as a Gasfitter, in Maryhill. Many great memories, especially of the 63 pubs in Maryhill Road :)
That's what I like about Maryhill you were never short of a pub to go too
Brings tears to my eyes
Scotland would be one of the few countries in the world that looked wealthier in the past that the present day , others would be African countries , Iran , Lebanon and other 3rd world states , Scots are dedicated Socialists , this is the price they pay .
Excellent. Anybody remember Pat's Pet Shop, just down a bit from the Vaults on Maryhill Road?
Remember it well. The owner was an ex cop. He was a Chief Inspector at the station in Camperdown St across the road from the brewery in Garscube Rd in the 1960s/early70s. I used to go in the shop for a coffee around 1980. Told a few stories about sending across for a carry out. Him and his wife lived above the shops at Anniesland Cross.
