Tam / Charlie ah jist googled the writing
"Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:50-52).

We had a Bulloch family lived on the top floor of 4 Palace Street - any relation? (Daughter Isobel would be about 65 now I think)

I too remember the Scrappy - on the Springfield Road entrance very often there used to be a lorry parked in the doorway - it had a Red Indian Chief mascot as the radiator cap - cant remember if it was a Dennis or an Albion or another make of lorry. It might have had a temperature guage behind the Indian's head but I'm not sure.
Haha just had another thought - did anyone ever get a "hudgie" on the back of a lorry or a horse & cart? happy days! ;D

Charlie et al,
I've just had a thought ref the bell, there must be some markings on the bell itself, normally a maker's name and a date of manufacture - is there a way to find this out?, I know bell makers are normally old established companies with records to go with it. Just thought I'd mention it in case it would be another avenue to explore.

Im sure this is the church we were taken to for (Newlands) school church services in the 50's and that the minister was the Rev Dr Nelson Gray. He was a lovely bloke and was a good story teller and held the kids imagination so well. I seem to remember him on STV Late Call years later.

Thanks Weanie ! I had another look at the Nazarene pic and it was further up toward Parkhead Cross than the Methodist Church. So it was the Methodist Church after all! ;D

Just had a thought there looking in this board. When I was at Newlands we used to cut through the sperr grun where they later built the Post Office / Social Security offices, to the dinner hall which must have been in the Church of the Nazarene ( I always thought it was a Methodist Church so I've got that wrong) and it's the same hall where I used to go to the Lifeboys on a Friday night. Thanks for the pic!
Ha ha! Another thing Ive just remembered about the garage next to the sperr grun - I threw a brick over the wall there and it hit the roof of a car on the other side! The man from the garage caught me and marched me back to the school and the Heidy - the punishment was that I had to carry the brick about for a month in my school satchel!
That sperr grun is also where they used to hold the shows towards the end of summer /autumn

See also my first post here. I exchanged emails with Ronnie a while back - I contacted him via Friends Reunited (just checked he isn't there now and I don't have his email address)), he had had heart surgery and was fit again.. He lives in Ayrshire somewhere, his sister Brenda (also in the pic in post 14 here) married Raymond Carpenter and his elder sister Dorothy lives in East Kilbride.
I lived up the stairs from him in 4 Palace Street 1948 - 1958

I can almost hear the wee newspaper man (Porky I think his name was) coming down Springfield Rd on a Saturday evening advertisin his "Pink" Evening Times or Green Citizen. Who can remember the wee man who sharpened aw the knives and scissors ootside Curleys? I used tae stand fur ages and watch him as a kid. Clansman, I remember them coming round wi papers when I lived in Palace Street, with late finals and when there were three evening papers and the paper boy shouting " Times, News and Citizennnnnnnnnnn" There used to be special editions and I seem to remember something about murders and especially one for Manual the murderer. Like you I also remember being fascinated by the man that sharpened the knives outside Curleys.

Yes that is correct erckel...it was originally called the Cafe De Lux before it became Bunny's... © 2007 Virtual Mitchell Glasgow. I liked the picture of Helenslea Dairy I used to work there in the school holidays as well as Capaldi's at night Hi again Palaisgirl, How well I remember this fotie. In the Helenslea Dairy was before my "Uncle" Robert McGlauchlan owned the shop in the 50s. Robert was in the Sally Army same as many of my family and I remember him when going to the shop always humming tunes as he operated the bacon slicer or got you a loaf or a pint pf milk. His first wife Ethel died and he remarried Jean I think. I also remember on a Thursday night being sent to the Cafe De Luxe with my Mother's last coppers from her purse to get two single nougats and a pokey hat for the three of us before getting paid on Friday!! Happy days eh?

This one was taken from the 'wee hoose' showing the rest of Springfield Road up to Parkhead Cross. Great fotie Charlie! How well I remember this part of Springfield Road. I remember being taken there (more or less to the spot where the fotie was taken from) one Sunday morning. My Dad took me there to see the tram that had jumped the points at Parkhead Cross and was lying on its side. It was a Coronation type tram and there was glass everywhere and still personal stuff lying on the ground. Im not sure when it would have been exactly but imagine that it would have been between 57 and 59.

Charlie, the foties at the start of the thread are fantastic, I've got some responses to them which I'll post in a few minutes. Id love to see the ones that are missing but appreciate that a board like this takes time to manage. Thanks for them and well done!!

Like many others here I was there that day with my Dad, my Uncle and my cousin's husband, I was visiting from England for N'erday. We always used to stand next to passageway 13 when we went to Ibrox ("The North East corner") my Dad used to call it. I don't need to explain what happened again as it is well covered here but when the match ended we waited a minute or two to let the crowds thin out, previously we used to leave by the stairs at 13 but this time we saw what it was like and went out the other exit opposite. It was only when we got back to the car and turned the radio on that the first words we heard were .... "and we can now report at least 5 dead at Ibrox" which we couldnt understand at the time as we did not know that anything was wrong. When we got back home to East Kilbride there had already been a phone call from my mother in law in England to find out if I was OK. It was a sad sad day.

Just a thought, I was in the Lifeboys in the 50s and have the number 113 in mind, we met in the Methodist church where we had out school dinners when I was at Newlands. I left the 113 and joined the 67th probably around 1957 and before I moved to Castlemilk in 1958. Another reason 113 sticks in mind is that that was the RAF Squadron my Dad was in during the war.
PS My mind is playing me up I am sure it was the 132 now and not 113! sorry about that! - I'm allowed a senior moment on here I am sure ;D

I remember the bookies Jawbox, i used to run down from delburn st on a saturday to put my da's line on he always said to me put your head in the door and ask wullie leadbetter to put my line on,he new he could trust wullie, as regards to the cafe de-luxe when i used to go in there the owner was called bunny it wasn't as popular as tony's then you had the music shop next to bunnys.mr lathams was across from bunnys, was david ness a relation of my former classmate Catherine? David Ness was her Dad - they lived in the ground floor flat in 4 Palace Street in the same close as me. I understand from my mother that David Ness ran off from the family home, however, both the kids did well and I believe they went to university and Mrs Ness remarried. Bunny Clark did indeed own the Cafe Deluxe - he married into the Italian family that owned it ( Sannie Capaldi I think) and must have taken it over when they retired or died.

I remember the Sportsman’s Bar next to the corner shop (a Bakers where my mother worked for a while) on Janefield Street. In the 50s it was run by Toni Capaldi senior . Toni junior was a great friend of my Uncle, Archie Rollo (who was from 16 Palace Street and now lives with this family in Vancouver). I think Toni senior opened a chip shop on the same side of Springfield Road between Janefield Street and Mac’s shop (Ward’s Stores) at the corner of Edmiston Street and what made it special to me as a kid was that they sold crinkle cut chips which I had never seen before but were expensive at 4d a poke. When the shop opened I remember it well and he had all brand spanking new machinery in stainless steel to cut the potatoes and to fry the fish & chips. The shop next door became a Bookies in the 50s when betting was legalised and the street corner bookies died a death. In Palace Street Frank Clark was our local bookie up till then and David Ness was his runner. I think he did good business with the Celtic footballers that passed by on their way to Celtic Park.
Across the road from Edmiston Street in Springfield Road was another “tallies”, this time it was called the Café Deluxe and it was owned by Toni Capaldi’s brother Sannie, Latham’s cycle shop was nearby as was (Jean’s) Paterson’s fish shop, there was a chip shop there too.

Wonder if anyone knows where in Parkhead the Arena was??? Taken from The Eastern Standard 1935 Tam You know what struck me about the poster? The prices. In 1935 those prices would have been a lot of money, my Dad was a baker and I think he told me before the war in 1939 he was only on something like £2 to £3 a week so perhaps he could have afforded a 1/- but maybe not 3 or 4 bob. Other interesting thing was that Jim McInally was from Parkhead and I have no idea where the arena could have been in Shettleston Road.

The Jumps
I remember in the back court of Palace Street we had “The Jumps”. They were of course the remnants of what were the old wash houses and middens. Our back court was that defined by Palace Street, Edmiston Street, Malcolm Street and Janefield Street. If I remember rightly, they were brick built and the flat roofs were concrete, they were also reduced in size during the war leaving gaps between them and as kids we used to get up on the roofs and jump between the gaps. Many an hour was passed jumping from one roof to the next and there was even a combination jump of three consecutive gaps.
Happy days! ;D

Ive mentioned on the site elsewhere that I remember being outside the night it was officially opened as a BBC studio when many "stars" had turned up to celebrate. I got George Young's and Lita Roza's autograph. I thought it must have been 53 or 54 at the latest. Although here it says it closed later in 1955
