Here's an fly over of the site taken in what i believe to be around 1942 or so.

Re the Savoy cinema I remember a school visit in the 1950s from St Brides. We all trooped down Greenlees Road and entered via the back lane behind the Royal bank. Years later when watching a feature film there, a short came on between the main films and to everyones surprise it was a film of all us...

Hi, can anyone help? I'm attempting to carry out an art project on dookits and the culture around them but there is very little on the net. I have a friend who's neighbour has a loft and he explained it's a sort of kidnapping game, whoever can tempt a bird into their loft gets to keep it? I was hop...

Picture the scene, i'm sitting reading infront of the fire with my wtb next to me who's watching some peice of drivle soap on the television when my mobile beeps to let me know i've got a text. As i can't reach over to it with her snuggling up next to me she grabs it and i ask her to read it out to ...

This is really not intresting however it might be too much information. The Carbuncle i had growing on my thigh burst while i was shoping in my local nisa's. I never even knew untill i heard a voice from behind saying "omg, are you ok mister" i turned round to face quite an atractive girl ...

Thanks for the reply's folks.

Hey folks I'm looking for pics of the now filled in gun emplacment that was on Cairnmuir road just south of the rollsroyce factory. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=55.78699,-4.185169&num=1&t=h&sll=55.785689,-4.189469&sspn=0.02465,0.048562&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=55.788688,-4.180...

Sorry got my east / west mixed up. I don't know why but i seem to be able to read maps better by holding them upside down with the south being at the top. Strange i know but its allways been easier for me that way.

I've not been to Gilbertfield castle in years now, i used to love going there and climbing around the ruins. I can remember on the open face of the east wall you could get access to the remains of a stairwell and from there you could climb onto the first level with quite a well preserved room that i...

When i was a small lad i used to play "doakies" along the bank of the burn that runs past whitlawburn in cambuslang. One fateful day i jumped on what looked like a solid surface and it turned out to be a thin layer of soil covering a thick band of slate or something like that. All i rememb...

My claim to fame, i am only one of a handfull of people who have given scott a world class boxer imo a bloody nose.

RE: Cambuslang dookit From what i've seen and read on the net,the dookit in cambuslang golf course used to be part of the westburn house estate. Due south from it was quite a large curling pond and north-west side was a ornate fountian,sadly now long gone. However on some sites like google earth you...

I'm glad I got the Savoy Bingo hall in Cambuslang listed the week that it closed, at least Wetherspoon's can't just tear the interior out now! Glad to know it's been listed, i worked in there for a very happy seven years starting of running the floor giving out 20p's change for the prize bingo then...
