I used to live in the old St Bernard's school. My dad was the 'Janny'. Later on I stayed up in South Nitshill. I still live nearby but I can still remember some of the old buildings. I used to have pals in the old close at Dove Street and Nitshill Road. Also I remember pubs like the Railway Inn and the Royal Oak. The way the old Railway station looked certainly brought back memories.
My family ( the Scott’s), moved into 19 Woodfoot Quadrant circa 1960. Happy memories of sledging down the hill in front of the house and, more often than not whizzing across the main road at the bottom and crashing into the brick wall . Later walked down the same hill to Murray Pipeworks, with my dad, while serving my time asa a pipe fitter/ welder. Happy memories.
Lived in pinmore street 42 years ago for a short time No 76,made great wee pals there always remember them wee Stevie McGuire , Jamie Dawson great days
Very interesting. Wish some of the old buildings were still here today as they carried a lot of history with them but I suppose that's progress for you.
So sad to see such a nice looking place in the past just look like a dump now. The whole of Nitshill is awful, utter eyesore. Tragic this was done in the name of progress!
The houses shown in Pinmore Street, werw actually part of Renfrew County, and not part of Glasgow City. I went live in Pinmore Street in 1959, and I am very familiar with the area
We lived in pinmore St. From 1963-73. Used to play up at the "red hills" near the Hurlet, it was red Ash or slag from the mines, we found what we thought were dinosaur bones, (well you would at six or seven) but realised they were horses or ponies buried where they fell I guess.
LOL, the red hills! I'd forgotten about them. Lorries used to dump SURGICAL WASTE products there back in the 50's. We used to play up there and find syringes & needles, amongst other stuff. Lived in Househillmuir Road until 1973.
Great video brings back lots of memories for me when I use to live there some 39 years ago thanks for making feel old👴

My dad used to walk from pollokshaws to Nitshill in the 30's when it was just a wee village. We moved there in '61 and it was a dump. Hated it.

So sad to see the decline, the old buildings should have been saved.

@@alexanderyoung1167 Nitshill became part of Glasgow in 1926. I am very familiar with the history of the area. Prior to that it was part of Renfrew.
