The Horse Shoe in Drury St. A long exposure, with the camera stood on a table, which is why the barman is ghostly.


Not the first time customers have seen the barman looking like that, I'll wager...

 Crackers once again, streapadair.

Hi strepadair, great photos, oh lucky me, some of Oatlands that I have never seen.
Yes you are right, try taking kids photos nowadays, great stuff.
Good to see some of the Shaws that have been long gone.
Thank you once again for sharing your photos with us.

Bye for now, norrie

I've added a new thread to the topic page - A Look Around Glasgow in the 1970's

All photo's will be added to that instead of posting on here with respect to Streapadair as this thread is for comment on his amazing work and associated relevances

Cheers Guys

Wow Flash looks like we have another great source of Ye Olde Glesga...

Coia's on the corner of Millerston St and Dukey was where as kids we got taken on a Saturday for an Icey drink after the FineFare in Hillfoot St...
Alternating between that and the Rendevous Cafe At Sword St and Duke St.

Happy days....

Excellent stuff once again Streap, I liked the bus story too

Your family must have been well heeled Cybers. We never got to go in this great cafe. I always remember this Coia's Cafe.

We were never in Coia's again after it moved as it got too dear...
Infact i have never been in it since it moved  
Alex Glass

I seem to remember one on Cathcart Road....
Alex Glass

I just remember that there were possibly others in the City but don't know where. Thanks Stu
Scary

I didn`t know the Coias on Duke St had moved, I remember they got flats built above them a couple of years ago.
Alex Glass

This is the one along the road.



Opposite Bellfield Street
norrie

This is what you are thinking of
I took this 2007?
Sorry alex, I didnt see your post

Duke St Whitehill St

Scary

Aye that`s the one
cybers

Up market little Italy in Duke St .... just like it too... sitting there with you capa-frappa-cino and dodging drug dealing hitmen...

On a more serious note though i remember as a kid hanging around Whitehill St with my Girlfriend (Troo Luv Of The Moment ByRaWay)
and Mr Orange Coia the telly star came to visit...
Nice guy  but he ferr made the burd swoon an that  

Think Big Alex Still works for them too.... Sound big guy learning difficulties used to stop other kids from taking the piss out of him. Infact seen him recently on Duke St ... He still looks about 20 same as he did in 1985 lol.
streapadair

Thanks, guys and gals. You see what I meant by rag-bag, but glad you found something of interest.

Fjord - Ken?  mmm, rings a bell.

Doog Doog - any more? Well, as far as Glasgow buildings go, I'm just about cleaned out, happy to hand over to Flash and Mustang and anybody else who comes along. I could call it a day, or if you want there's 2 or 3 other collections I could put up.
norrie

Hi strepadair, why stop now, we are enjoying the show.

Oh yes please! My appetite has been well and truly whetted!  
cybers

Would be a shame to call time on your collections now Streap I was kind of hoping you were just finding your pace.
These photo's hold so many memories and are an inspiration for us to get out and record what is there today for the generations tommorrow.
