Many thanks for another great collection! For me the photo of Trongate at 1:45 is a real winner. There's so much atmosphere in the picture and to get a single individual in the shot was a stroke of genius. You can just feel the chill night air and the solitude. I wonder what time of night it was.
I nearly said..” ‘84, my era” then I realised… Amazing pics… I used to have book Called ‘The history of Hillhead’. Had loads of great photos and narratives… Maybe you could check it out? Never seen this chan before, but it just popped up in my feed tonight…
Another Thursday, another set of fantastic photos. L.P. Hartley was correct, " The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there. " Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for another brilliant batch of photographs & memories of Glasgow & surroundings of far better days for these wonderful places.. once again, a huge thank you for sharing these picture Glasgow photographs. 👍👍👍👍.
The picture of George St 1979. . The building to the left of the pic, with the row of very small windows at the side of the building was either a tech or art college in 1976. I met a very beautiful girl there in Feb 1976 and we were together for the remainder of that year, she was from Netherlee, just outside Glasgow, I was from Perth . Later, my circumstances meant I would be leaving Scotland for a number of years, so we broke up. I still think about her often. Thank you for your great images of the Glasgow I very fondly remember and miss.
@@COYBIG1967 Yes, and thank you for this comment. I'm in Glasgow often and regardless of where I wander there, these memories come flooding back to me. It was a glorious summer in 76, which makes it even more memorable, so it's still pretty fresh in my mind. You are also right in saying that images like these bring it all back. Maybe one day we will bump into each other again, to share our life experiences, who knows ?. She was very special and also very beautiful, it's very hard to forget someone like that. I hope she is well. Thank you again and good wishes to you.
Thanks Colin. Love the atmospheric Trongate photo with no vehicles in sight. I think its later in date than you first imagine. The pedestrian crossing lights suggest 1970's or 1980's to me.
My father used to service Ricky Fulton’s car whe he was the workshop manager at RS LOGANS MOTOR ENGINEERS WHIITTINGHAM DRIVE GLASGOW 1960s and Andy Stewart’s rolls Royce he also had an American packhard convertible and an Austin Healy 3 litre sports car they were all stored at the garage I used to sit in them when I was a boy wonder if the cars are still about
Jackie Gleason - the Great One - said of Mickey Rooney ...he would have been as accomplished an actor as Lord Laurence Olivier if he was 6 feet tall ! His height of 5ft 2" hindered him greatly in parts offered over his career . He was a brilliant talent but would have been even better if taller ...Jackie called his wee pal ' spider ' .
“On the doorstep 66” the two woman were saying “oh Margaret bloody England won the cup thingy , we will never hear the end of it” 😂

Thanks again...as you say, that pic really captures the atmosphere.
@@colinburrowes8063I thought exactly the same. Very atmospheric. It looked like a chilly and foggy night in the city. I well remember them.

Beautiful memories.
It’s part of Strathclyde uni, it’s the students union.
@@jmunro-graham1568 Thank you for letting me know this. When I was there gigging, it was a Valentines Dance in February of 76.
Awww, a sweet and maybe slightly sad memory , it’s amazing how much an image can make you think of certain times and events in your life, even if ppl.

You're welcome...I agree, the photo is much later, than it appears to be.
Great photos which bring back a lot of memories. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Great pictures one thing fantastic about pictures no cars on the streets what a difference
Too many cars...not enough feet on the streets.
Loved the WW2 stripes painted in the lamp.
A reminder of days gone by.
My dad’s pal Gus Yule was related to Rooney, rooneys real name was Yule.
Thanks for the info.
I remember Mickey Rooney's visit to the city. His dad came from the area at the top of the Polmadie Road and that's where that photo was taken.

Happy memories
You notice the “ fruiterers “ shops? It was always just the fruit shop
It was and is part of Strathclyde University
Do you know the location of the Guy Fawkes night photo from 1978? Calton maybe?
That was the only information with the photo.
@@colinburrowes8063 Cracking photo nonetheless. I recognise someone. Thanks for sharing.
@@dominiccolella6049Thank you.
@@dominiccolella6049 I had a look on the sminternet, and it seems this photo was taken in Bridgeton.
@@colinburrowes8063 did it credit a photographer?
why the sad music???
Not sad, evocative, nostalgic.

I believe Mickey said that he always got married in the morning, so that he hadn't wasted the full day.
Marlon Brando was also an admirer of Mickey.
Everybody who worked with him said he was a little sh*t.
Great Pics.. My dad was born on Elderslie street in 38
Past times...happy times.
