Stanley Street former School? 2nd Jan 09

StevenJ · Stanley Street former School? 2nd Jan 09

on January 2nd, since I missed the walk of the M74 (never noticed it), I had happened to have gone out on a walk of my own. Not an area of Glasgow that I frequent, or am at all familiar with, but I ended up walking down Seaward Street & Milnpark Street. As I was walking in this area I noticed this building along Stanley Street

on Stanley Street, so duly took a closer look.

Got a few photographs [for those that car, Ilford Delta 400, developed at home :) and scanned in with my Minolta DImage 5400]

Can anyone tell me any history of this building? And maybe the significance of the soft toys tied to the fencing?

to the right hand side was the chapel. Our Lady and St.Margaret's Catholic Chapel.This building was the Chapel House . The school had a rooftop playground for the girls and the first floor was an enclosed playground for the boys.

I photographed that school and building last year.
The demolition had not started.
I posted the photo on glescapals and asked the to guess where it was, no problem for some of them.
I am sure the school was a Catholic School and the building was for the Sisters who taught there but I will get back to my board and check it out.
Bye for now, Norrie

Ok here is the information on the school at Stanley St School
Information supplied by a member of glescapals.
Bye for now, norrie

The school was built at nos. 126 to 136 and was built in 1910 as Our Lady & St. Margaret's RC Primary School.

Next door to it at nos. 11o to 118 was Our Lady & St. margaret's RC Church dating from around 1880. Attached to the church is a presbytery, which I think may be the house you are referring to. Very likely that nuns and priests would have lived here, serving both the school and church.

To the rear ran Stanley Street Lane, where at nos. 17 to 19 stood a church hall.
