Mill Street
I was born at 22 Mill Street in 1941 and attended Fairy Street School from 1945-1951 and later Gallowflat from 1951-1955.
Christmas 2010
My daughter bought me the book 'Old Rutherglen' by Rhona Wilson. On page19 is the old Rhul cinema where I attended my first film. 'The Wizard of Oz'. I fell asleep, I was only 4. It is now compulsory viewing for my children and grandchildren.
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.
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.
