Just joined the forum after being linked to this Volume and Volume one from a thread about old Glasgow. The Springburn pictures are amazing, i've stayed in Bishopbriggs all my days and can't remeber Springburn the way it was, the Expressway and shopping centre were there long before I was born.

My uncle worked in Stobhill up until a few months ago and was recently in the basement of the clock tower where they keep the old records. He found records of his own birth, mine, my mum's, my sister's and one of his brothers' (the other one being born at home).

Topic of conversation over in The Glasgow in the seventies section is about Springburn ...Wasn,t going to post these as I thought everyone would be fed up with Spr past/presents.. but here goes

The entrance to the Hyde park loco works on Ayr st

and today

View from the other side of the main gate

and now

View along Ayr st to Flemington st showing wall of engine sheds

Nice little housing complex nowadays

View of one of the engine sheds after closure

Same area today

Classic Springburn view from the railway bridge of Atlas and Hydepark works...remember this as a child...

Alas.. all the industry is long gone

These houses were known localy as the blocks..They housed the workers from cowlairs works and apparently were very nice dwellings.They were demolished around 1970 and the ground lay derelict for some time until a concrete jungle was built on it

Same view today..St Aloyuis primary school still there

Another view of the blocks

This is what replaced them

and the flats today

Aye Kev yir right we are pig sick of looking at this stuff

If you have more get it posted and stop trying to draw us out like mad junkies

Sterling Stuff indeed.

The empty shed is a strange photo when you consider how many guys toiled in there day in day out for years.
