I'm taking careful note of these offers, Professor Fjord, and will redeem them some day.

Och, what the hell, I'll throw in a half pint too.

Wow

It is just fantastic on here. You don't sign in for a couple of days and when you do you get treated to such a wonderful collection. Great to see so many place I pass often.

Once again really brilliant streapadir, I recognise loads of places. The photo above would have been taken just a few hundred yards up the road from me, I stay between Belgrove St and Sword St.

Having just discovered this site all I can say is 'it is enough to make a grown man greet'.  There are some absolutely magnificent black and white photographs of the Calton , Bridgeton , Camlachie ,Dalmarnock , Parkhead...streapadair do you have any more. Well done to all involved.

PS

Sorry folks I have already posted the same message on the actual photo board could someone remove it for me.

Many thanks

Glad you enjoyed them, Riverside Boy (and Hamski, gallowgategal, others too). I'm very unlikely to find any more east end stuff (or City or Gorbals or Townhead), archive cleaned right out, but there's some southwest and northwest pictures still up my sleeve, fullness of time and all that.
