To answer a question that arose elsewhere would anyone be able to advise when these streets were built? I reckoned the 20s or early 30s - being part of the government housing improvement schemes of the times.

It would have been possibly in the mid 1930's which is generally known as mid-war years housing.

Seem to remember going to a Parkheed Rangers Supporters Club dance at Quarryknowe Street in the 60's. Was there a masonic hall on the left as you walked up from Westmuir Street, or was it some other organisations hall Seem to remember it looked grand from the outside, is it still there

Yes indeed there was a Masonic Hall as you describe. It became known as The Swinging Doors club as I recollect.
Now demolished and housing built on the site.

Shettleston St.John Lodge was the name of the Masonic Lodge.

I couldn't believe this when I read this post, I was at a ladies night in the orange hall in Quarrknowe St last night and I was talking about the masonic hall that was there years ago which became the Swinging doors, a few of the younger ones there didn't know of this hall, I remember it well as this is where our wedding reception was held in.
We were married in St Barnabus chapel in Shettleston then in the Masonic for the party, you can guess some of the jokes that were going around.
