Anybody know anything of a sweetie shop that was in Dalmarnock Street earlier years of the 1900s and possibly to relatively more recent times? Possibly owned by a family named Freebairn or Scoular? Researching for a distant relative. Cheers! asbo

Also found this
Within a week of being constituted, Celtic had leased an area of ground off the Gallowgate in Parkhead, bounded on the west side by Janefield Street and on the east by Dalmarnock Street (now Springfield Road). Within six months, a voluntary workforce had built a ground that emulated the highest standards of the time. There was a level, grassy playing field measuring 110 yards long and 66 yards wide, a basic earthen terracing around three sides of the stadium and an open-air stand (capable of accommodating 1,000 spectators) that contained a pavilion, a referee's room, an office, dressing rooms and washing and toilet facilities. It should be recorded at this point that the 'old' Celtic Park is NOT the location of the current Celtic Park.

Here is the photo of the weans outside the sweetie shop in Dalmarnock Street, which was the former name of the northmost part of Springfield Road (at the Parkhead Cross end). The wee girl emigrated to the US many years ago, and her son, who is a distant cousin of mine sent me this to see if anybody could tell where it was. Unfortunately there is not much to go on as it's a close-up, but looking closely you can see the outline of buildings reflected in the window to the left and to the right, with what looks like the entrance into a street between them. Anybody hazzard a guess? Cheers!

If it is Dalmarnock Street as you say Asbo then it can only be either Edmiston Street or Malcolm Street and the shop would have to be between Dechmont Street and Whitby Steet - and if so then I would probably say it is Edmiston Street.
