Hi calamity,I remember the Boyle's who lived at number 17 Yate street ground floor on the right,on the left was the Armal family,unless there was another Boyle family. I lived at number 29. The close numbers went up in sixes,17,23,29,35,41 and 47 was the last one opposite Mountainblue street then it was the pen opening before the sweetie factory then Brander Cullen's going towards Law street. The boy who was about the same age as me was called Tommy,he had an older brother called John.

Adaline Its possible adaline,there were a few girls in the family I knew from Stamford street,one was called Martha. When Tommy and I were about eight or nine years old we would go down to Lewis's in town and play on the escalators on Saturday afternoon.In our first year at Rivvy he spilled hot melted wax on his hand in the science classroom and I had to take him up to Crail street clinic.

If I remember right I think Rita Goodall had red hair Jim, but I don't know if she stayed in Yate St, didn't really know her well.

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. Just wondering Charlie, is that the wee cobbled street to the right of the clock that had the goalposts and ball and was there no a story attached to a Celtic player?

You got the first bit right Jamie re the ball , the boot and the goal. Has nothing to do with Celtic I am afraid but the myth lingers on.

When one of my sisters was having her engagement party in the hoose on Yate street in the late fifties,her future father in law commented on the coincidence that his grandfather had worked on the cobblestones and that his wife's middle name was Yates. As kids we always chalked the leg,ball and boot,and always Rangers colours. ;D ;D

It seems it did have something to do with Bridgeton Waverley whose ground was nearby at the bottom end of the street.
