Great video again Paul. I totally agree with your comments.
Awe my wee granny lived in 15 dubton st I was always up at the library ❤hello from Ireland ☘️
Thanks for another trip down memory lane. Much appreciated. I couldn't believe where you started. I started drinking at the Casbah when I was still at the Lennie. Used to go over at dinner time. They weren't too particular as regards your age. Years later I remember a Scottish TV reporter describing the Casbah as "more like a derelict electricity sub-generating station than a local pub". But I liked it. The shops next to the Casbah used to have flats above them. I had a Council bed-sit there for a couple of years, the first place of my own. The school facing it has completely disappeared. Where you went along Provanhall was where I had a paper round in the mid-60's. I worked for the Cleannie for a short time in Easterhouse before transferring to Bell Street. I am pretty sure the local depot was on Wardie Road. Almost every street name carried memories for me.
I was a patient in Gartloch. I was sectioned because I kept saying Partick thistle would win the league. Only joking. But the staff were very dedicated and helped me cope with my situation. I enjoy your channel a lot. Wish I could come back to Glasgow and have a wee drive round with you. You should start a business as a tour guide driving people round. Anyway, it’s a good video. Thanks for taking the time to do these.
thanks for keeping the history alive.
Daldowie my own Mother is buried when I was only 17, been away up to see her grave as my wee Glasgow woman was from Wellhoude,Easterhouse .

Brill Paul, we used to Go up there to hide from the Gaffer, when I worked for " THE CLENY" , AT easter queenslie in the 80's , Great memories.
Gartloch Hospital, remember being dropped off their in 1987 when I was a student nurse on psychiatric placement from the GRI. Can't say I would have ever wanted to go back after that. The hospital was an imposing building but I couldn't say I was impressed by the care of the patients, particularly in the acute psychiatry area. More like a prison managed by warders. Looks like a small town has sprung up around it though I wouldn't want to live there considering the history of the place. Thanks Paul.
Lot of changes in stepford. I grew up on wardie. Cheers m8!
Aw you went up my childhood st. Auchingill Rd. I remember the casbah well. Was only ever in it once. I got ID'd when i was 21 and married. I laughed when you said the Buywell 😂

Great video & I stayed in Conisbrough Road growing up & we use to walk over the fields & through Gartloch Hospital when It was opened on our way to Chapmans Pub in Gartcosh which unfortunately isn't there anymore! Great times.
I lived in 45 ware road when I just met my Man Matthew
I enjoyed cruising around with you on that journey Paul. Your narration is relaxed and informative.
The tour around the Gartloch Hospital area was like an episode of Black Mirror.
Watching now Paul thanks.
No fond memories of the skinheads…they were quite a nasty lot.. many a fight with them.. but they were an unusual outfit..as were many in gang culture..no doubt many are dead… was a nice place to live when new… the yahoo,,s destroyed the place.. that’s why the good folk left…but thanks for the tour…
