I took this photo from the corner where I used to live in Arrol Place and it just shows you how close I lived to Celtic Park when I was a boy plus that is my old primary school straight facing the football ground...

I was just looking at the photo again, where the superstore is was that where Davvar St was because if so then where the trees and grass is on the same side of the road as the park this is where we stayed in 1972 when we were first married.

The Celtic Superstore backs onto what was originally Davaar Street Adaline...you were married in 1972 Adaline you must've been young as I was only 18 and I reckon I am older than you.

Adaline here is one to cherish taken on the London Road between Fielden Street and Frazer Street... The building furthest on the left is Mauldslie Street with Arrol Place opposite...if you look close enough you'll see the London Road Railway Bridge at Celtic Park. © 2009 The Glesga Keelies Collection.

Charlie just seen this photo thanks, my god it takes me back.
The first building on the right is that where the Wee Ship Inn was? if so this is the building I lived in 1000 London Rd just next to Nuneaton St when I went about Arrol Place at the time you and I first knew one another.
The row of shops on the left I remember there was Orr's the butchers, Gerry's the barbers, Delnholm bakery accross the road was Curley's, the Launderette, the off sales which for the life of me can't remember the name of it.
On the left at the corner of Frazer St where the people are standing was the pub either the First Half or the Right Half I think and further along where there are more people standing was the wee Bookies, Connetta's chip shop, Nichol Mairs bakery, Newlands church was just passed where they are standing. I am racking my brains here.
Thanks for the memories Charlie, when I see the old photos especially of this part of London Rd with people in them I wonder if any of them are my relatives from bygone days.
When I married in 1972 it was 1081 London Rd that we lived you just about see it passed Mauldslie St.

In reading back over what I wrote the pub I was talking about at the corner of Frazer St I think it was called the Pop Inn.

I do remember the wee row of houses just off the main drag of London Road Irene. A lassie I went to school with lived in there and you are right enough there was a wee wall and an air-vent for the railway line underneath the London Road. There was also a Curley's before you came to the phone box and the wee wall...I am not sure but I reckon those houses may have had something to do with the Church House and the Bethany Hall which they seemed to be attached to at the time.

I had two pals that lived up the close next to the phone box and we sat on that wee wall most nights we called it the walkie don't know why. You might remember my pals Charlie as they were the wans I went aboot wi when we came around Arrol Place, Linda Thomson and Tricia Williamson.
