when I was growing up A memory of Paisley, Renfrewshire I remember being very happy growing up as a child in Paisley. One of my happiest memories was being given a golliwog outfit from the Robertson's jam factory. A certain amount was given out every year at Halloween by the factory. I used to enjoy the Library and Museum which I visited each week, and as I got older the visits became more frequent. I remember thinking how vast Coat's Mill was and how lovely the river that ran past it looked - sadly the mill has now been renovated into flats. Posted: 18/10/2006 23:33 by Patricia Chalmers |

Visiting Granda A memory of Glasgow, Lanarkshire My family used to travel from the countryside of Lanarkshire into Glasgow almost every weekend to visit our Granda in Carnwadric. I loved going from the centre of town out to Carnwadric in the tram and being able to 'turn' the seats for its return journey. Happy days. Last edited: 25/11/2008 09:14 by Kathleen Kelly |

 Glasgow, St Vincent Place 1897 (ref: 39764) |
Year: 1975
Glasgow Agency of the Bank of England A memory of Glasgow, Lanarkshire "The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" as the Bank of England is known maintained a small office in Glasgow fir many years. It was on the north side of St VIncent Place and I worked there between 1975 and 1978. On fine summer days I would cycle to the bank from my home in East Kilbride about 15 miles to the south but I rarely had the energy to pedal the whole way home in the evenings as there is a climb of maybe 1000 feet. Sometimes I would get off and push for a particularly steep part of the route but on tough days I would put the bike on the train from Glasgow Central Station just round the corner from the bank! I returned to Glasgow on a holiday trip in 2005 when I was celebrating my 60th birthday and revisited the site of my old bank work in the 1970's. Things seem so much cleaner now although there is more traffic and more people. The bank has long since closed its agency offices in Glasgow but I could stand on the steps in the very place I had stood thiirty years previously and imagine myself ringing the bell for admission at 8.30 !!

 Glasgow, Mural in Possilpark 2005 (ref: G11705k) |
Year: 1940s
Childhood A memory of Glasgow, Lanarkshire 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. Posted: 16/03/2008 02:42 by Mary Dudgeon |
