Halfway House, Cambuslang.
My great-grandfather James Crawford was born over Halfway House, a pub in Cambuslang. The road and building is still there, but it's no longer a pub. I went there last year, as one of my children now lives in Scotland, and it was great to see the place where a distant relative had lived. If you look up 'Old Pubs of Glasgow' on the internet, you can find Halfway House as it was.
7 Glasgow Road, Cambuslang
An old friend of mine is desparately searching for a photo of the buliding where she lived - 7 Glasgow Road, Cambuslang. It was the first house she shared with her husband after they got married. Sadly, her husband was killed in a car accident a couple of years ago. She is looking for a photo to complete her own wee tribute album in his memory.

Swinton Road
My great-grandfather James Kirkwood lived in Swinton Road until his death in 1933, leaving a widow Catherine and six children. My grandmother moved there in 1934 until 1936 when Catherine died. They are buried at the churchyard opposite. My grandmother was Martha Kirkwood. I have been in this flat several times, my mother's cousin still lives there.
Early Days in Uddingston
I lived with my parents and grandparents in an upstairs flat 8 Clutha Place,101 1/2, (yes one hundred and one and a half!!) Old Mill Road, Uddingston until I was about two and a half. I remember watching the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on a black and white TV in the home of one of the downstairs neighbours who I think was called Mrs Brown. The year was 1953 and she was the only person we knew with a TV set at that time. We, along with several other neighbours, were invited to crowd into Mrs Brown's flat to watch the spectacle I remember having a little gold coloured replica of the Coronation Coach to mark the occasion. After living in Holytown and then Bothwell, our family returned to Uddingston around 1961 to a house in Holmbrae Avenue. My parents remained there until 2004. I now live in South Australia, but have been back to an ever changing Uddingston on many occasions, most recently in 2011. ... Read more
