Stirling rd Glagow

[unclepete50]

In an attempt to find early pictures of Stirling Rd Glasgow I logged on to Google maps. Stirling Rd now seems little more than an off ramp for the main Highway and it seems many old buildings, including my ancestors homes at No. 181 and No. 213 may have dissapeared. Likewise the old bakery at No. 83.

Can anyone help me with a website or other, that may have pictures of this area from an earlier time? The Campbells and McGhees seem to have lived in Stirling Rd around the 1850s to the early 1900s or even later

There's not much on Stirling Road.  Because of my connection, I've looked in the past.

This is a funny site.  Not for anyone easily offended by 'bad' language.

If you know Glasgow, you'll love it!
