Childhood
I was born and brought up in Possilpark from 1937 until 1958 and do not remember this mural. I guess things have to change, and I must admit the mural is very colourful and well done. I remember the Blind Asylum, the Co-op, Saracen Cross, St. Theresa's Church, all on Saracen Street (if my memory serves me correctly). My little brother and I used to go into the Co-op and watch the men in their white coats measuring out the sugar into paper bags, cutting and weighing the butter from the big slabs - no prepackaging in those days during the WWII. I have many happy memories of Possilpark.

The mural now has a building at the side so you can not see the display as much any more.
