Just updating my message about my Uncle Ernie Nugent.
The family lived in Arch Street. Number 4-8.
The newsagents' faced the Reunion Pub.
It was also near Camlachie school.

The owner was named Lachie..maybe derived from Camlachie....Anyway, he and his wife were not Glasgowegians. I remember his only son was run over by a lorry and killed....right outside his wee shop...think he sold out after that....he was a beautiful wee blond curly haired child....such sadness. We all loved that kid!

May... I asked my pal William 'Bilko' McHendrie fae Camlachie about the wee shop and he said as you did it was called 'Lachie's'...as an 'elder and wiser' east ender you have longer memories than Ian who is a few years older than me and Bilko...so I guess we have to identify the shop as Bilko reckons there was another around the corner in Stamford Street.

Charlie..that was the only shop there.....then their was Camlachie School. I believe the school took up the whole block. Could be that Ian`s uncle had is shop on the other side of the street. Their was a pub, and I believe a newsagents, in front of the bus stop(always is Lol) Their was also the co-op and a pub at the other end. The other wee shop was at the top of Stamford street and we all referred to it as Grannies....that was a wee sweet shop. Those were the only two shops we could go to without crossing the road.....Gallowgate. Hey less of the elder...LOl You know how women and men like to take years off their age....well, for a joke, I made myself as old as Rip Van Winkle, after he awoke from his long, long sleep.....What was it 100 years? ;D ;D

You know, I think I remember Nugent`s newspaper shop.....It was on the Gallowgate, facing the wee hill with the old cobble stones of a leg and foot kicking a football. Again, the newsagents was in front of a bus stop and next the wee park.....think that was your uncle`s shop, Ian......I`m going to ask one of my sisters.....

So we are talking about the shops facing the old Police Station and the Camlachie Institute at the top of Yate Street... next to the 'wee Stinkie park' on the Gallowgate.

Having never been in trouble with the police, I can`t remember a police station. Then again, there was a dirty, really dirty building facing the newsagents....and a lovely red brick building which was the community center......have to find out about the 'dirty' building!!!
Can`t recall the park being "stinkie." All who visited, during my time, the park were taught to be mindful of preserving the beauty within this delightful, family park. Must have been the ruffians who moved into the neighbourhood after we, a most wonderful people, removed ourselves from Camlachie.......tee-hee!

Ian According to the 1960 GPO directory Mrs. E Nugent owned a shop at 1029 Gallowgate which was between Arch Street and Coalhill Street, next door to Macleans Bar (the remnants of the Cartwheel Lounge still exist). I knew this newsagent to be owned by a man called Bert. Bobby Pollock from Barrowfield was the paperboy for this shop, and I took over from him. I can fondly remember standing outside the shop around five o'clock at night waiting to spot the Evening Times and Citizen vans coming up the Gallowgate, to drop off that day's editions. I delivered about ten papers around the Gallowgate and Society Street, and then about thirty or so in Janefield Street. I can only conclude that Bert bought the shop from the Nugents.

The shop facing the old police station was a newsagent owned by somebody called Park. The shop was next door to Stevenson Taylor's pub, later owned by Harry Daly.

Does anyone remember the Taylor family that lived in Elgin Street, Camlachie. The family consisted of Alexander Taylor, his wife Jean (nee Branning.) The children were Robert, Jean and Hugh. Robert the eldest was born around 1923 and as far as I know moved there when he was still young. Alexander Taylor was born in Coatbridge but grew up in Mc Ewan Street Parkhead. He was my late uncle. Thanks

I lived on Stamford St. I can not remember any shop around the corner from Lachies...there were, as I recall, arches under the overhead railroad where men worked on machinery. On the other corner at the top of Stamford Street was a sweetie shop owned by auld Grannie. She sold more than sweeties. Maybe she died or someone bought her out. Could that have been John Flannigans? I really can`t remember a John Flannigan.

John Flannigans was round the corner from Lachies, about twenty feet away right at the top of Stamford Street at Gallowgate.
Maybe he did buy the shop from auld Grannie. I certainly remember Flannigans from 1965 when I moved into Camlachie.

I certainly remember Flannigans from 1965 when I moved into Camlachie. Wish I could say, "That was before my time." Alas, " That was AFTER my time." I do remember that those arches were turn into stores, I believe, in the late sixties. I was already gone from Stamford St., by that time..but family still lived there, I think. Have to check with ma big sister......

hi waverley john flannigan used to own the corner shop (dairy) at the corner of barrowfield street and frazer street. i believe ian greigs mum used to work there for a while. before flannigan had the shop, it was owned by an old lady called mary hamilton,whom i think stayed in kirkpatrick street p.s. there was a wee sweetie shop in camlachie street between yate street and stamford street,facing the old jail/lamplighters building. p.p.s. i don't know if flannigan moved to lachie's old shop,because his shop building was condemned. cheers jappo

i remember the shop at the top of stamford st opening it was next to the stables this would be the early sixties as i left camlachie school in 1964/65 and was at school when it opened. the shop next to stevie taylors was a wee sweetie shop called boabs and the neice of the guy that owned was a future miss scotland who was involved in big court case in england where she and her daughter were accused of killing her millionaire husband. next door to this was a barbers when i lived there but this later became a newsagents and my granny worked in it sometimes she also worked in the one facing camlachie school she stayed in the close next to the news agents and i stayed next to boabs the stinky park was called this because of john noonans gut work at the end of vinegarhill st that made tennis raquet stings etc and while they must have been carrying out certain processes the place was stinking
