This photo is well over 100 year old and shows the Camlachie Jail with the entrance to what was later to be the Camlachie Whisky Bond. There is an inscription on the first building which may well have been the original Camlachie School.

What a smashing photie Charlie.
Yate Street ran from 976 Gallowgate to Law Street, and was named after James Yates of Woodville, Devonshire, who owned lands in the area.
At number 85 stood a works, premises of Vulcanite Ltd., felt manufacturers. It later became the premises of Brander Cullen Engineering Co.
At number 55 stood a confectionery works, premises of Edward Mackenzie.

A photo supplied by Jimmy Stirling of himself on his bike in Yate Street in 1959. In the background is the Bamber Cullen engineering works which is bound to cause a wee bit of an argument in sunny Barrafield as to the origins of the name of the present day Bambury Centre. The factory was next door to McKenzie Sweet Factory.

re the Bambary??? to us locals the place was called the [Brander] after the engineering work the[ Brander Cullen]the Brander was the source of many hours of enjoyment to us.the main doors where our goals for shooty in,they had steel kites in their scrap that we played bab and moshy with them,remember they gemmes,wee Jeanie Rea was the cleaner with mrs Palmer from number 72. You could get over the flat roof into the sweety work,they had a supply pipe that fed Treacle into the work,when they had a delivery we all ran about looking like Al Jolson.Hope this jogs the grey matter.

Before they built the big stupid planters between 72 and 84 and from the gardens to the BRANDER was our fitba park.Every body played on it Faithers the older guys and us pups.Night and day it was in use,but there was one wee spoilsport a wee guy from up Yate street who drove an invalid car,you know one of they blue chariots,as soon as a gemme got going he would bomb up and down wasting the gemme.one day we got a big coiled spring out of the BRANDERY tied it across the road and started a gemme.Within two minutes Jeff Duke had fired up the chariot and headed towards us,low and behold he hit the spring bounced back up the road never to waste a gemme again.dont do it now adays they,l through away the key.

In the 60s and 70s the bambury was just a vacant ground which ran from yate st to stamford st and it was used as a tip by the locals, in the 70s during the regeneration of the east end by g.e.a.r it was turned into an adventure playground.

Hi Jimmy The name Buddo was the correct name i used to play football with the boys on the ground between Stamford St. and Yate St. I left Barrowfield in 1963 and i think the Buddo family left a few years before me, Arty

Well it is an improvement Norrie...I have tried to read the inscription from the original but it cannot be deciphered.

It probably reads something like:- NO BALL GAMES, PENALTY, TRANSPORTATION.

Camlachie Police Station was built in 1877 and the extension to the distillery in 1914, where the old houses stand on the left hand side of the photo.

Peter if I remember correctly we once used a very powerful magnifier on the photo and I am sure it said something about a school...I will look out the original again.
