If its the pawn just down from the cross, then I remember it well, you went up the close then up a spiral staircase, the pawn was on the first landin and there was houses up the stair, you could also enter from the close up the road next to what used tae be the butchers shop. Gracy's the pawn was called.

Hello Adaline, remember going in there a couple of times, but my "local" was just up from it at the corner of Salamanca Street, the Palace Bar. When we started going into pubs when we were about 17 three of us went into the Hare and Hounds and ordered three pints of Guinness, a drink we had never tried before (we were used to McEwans screwtops or lager and lime) anyway nobody told us you had to drink the black through the white so my two mates had a wee sip of the white head and said it tasted horrible and they couldn't drink it, I had a gulp rather than a sip and thought it was OK, so I had a 2/6 (two shillings and six pence) bet on with each of them that I couldn't down the three pints, easy peasy I thought, the three pints went down easy enough once I got past the white head, picked up the five bob winnings from my two pals and then felt the lot comming back on me, I started to spew up as I ran to the lavy where the lot came up, including that nights mince and totties, When I came out of the toilet the pub landlord threw us out and told us to come back when we could hold our drink, an a had to give the money back to my two pals as well, Hare and Hounds, naw, they sell rotten Guiness ;D

Hello pwm437 as you walked down Duke Street with Salamanca Street on your right you came to an ice cream tobaco type shop and the Hare and Hounds was next to that. Had a sign outside with, guess what, a Hare being chased by a Hound.

Would the Hare and Hound been near the white gates as I said my son-inlaw remembers seeing rail tracks? I just can't recall seeing this pub.

You would walk up from the White Gates and by East Wellington Street and the Hare and Hound was on the left hand side.

Thanks all, I couldn't think of a pub being next to the white gates as my son-inlaw was saying the tracks were outside the pub, thanks Charlie I think I can now visualise where it was.

There were two gates that opened out to stop the trafic on Duke street. they both connected the different bits of the forge and both had railway tracks. the ones that were known as the white gates were at the bottom of Duke street where it met the old Shettleston Road the other was further up Duke Street just before you came to East Wellington Street. the tracks at the top end came out of a shed and crossed the road and went into one of the main gates of the factory, funny enough I think they were painted white as well.

I remember it bluejon, my granda lived there in the 60s, and my mum and sister worked there in the 60s, I don't think my sister worked there long as she was only covering for somebody.

Sounds like you're talking about the pub that was called the Nerry Inn,the Jiggin,and Joanna Dee's,before it closed.I don't remember what it was called before those names but it was better known by the locals as the Stab Inn.

It was always known as the Netherfield when I was younger but changed to all those names that you say Sandy Hills. I was only ever in it twice and that was to play dominoes in the 1980's and my erse was making buttons...I can only describe it like one of those taverns you read about in a Charles Dickens novel , but there again every one to their own as I have no doubt some would say the same about the Clanny. ;D

I remember that pub as well. After school and at weekends when I was about 13-14 I used to work in the stable you mentioned Patrick, it was just under the railway bridge. We would take the horse and cart up to Westmuir St at the corner of Nisbet St down from the Prince Charlie pub and collect chopped up sticks from the woodyard in big tea chests and then go up to Dennison and sell the sticks around the doors. All the carters from the stables drank in that pub so it would be a bit of a steptoe and son place. Never been in it, was to young at the time.

I remember the netherfield patrick, very unique in its own right, very hospitable people if it was a fight you wanted its the place to go, if you didn't want a fight too bad. They knew how to encourage you to try and take there title off them....ps no queens bury rules were ever adhered to........

Hi Robert, my uncle james was a hawker most of his life,[god rest him] we used to take the horse/cart into the stables and go across to the Netherfield for a couple of pints and a game of Domino's.
