Anderston, Glasgow...were you there?

[doddsie4]

    Yes, that's it - the Heilan Man's Umbrella.    It is still there.      The thing is that the bridge takes quite a few railway tracks from Central Station across Argyle Street before crossing the Clyde, and this means it wasn't like going under your usual bridge and straight out again.     It was, and still is, quite a distance to the other side.    The air used to be polluted at times
under the bridge.     They said it was bad for your lungs but I never noticed it.

Morag, that is the Heilanmans Umbrella but that's still the Central District, Anderston is further west. The cross is where Stobcross Street met Argyle Street.

Skoosh.

     Skoosh,
                 You're right and I'm wrong.     Sorry about that folks.     Old age has well and truly arrived, ha ha ha.

Maybe I've also joined the old age gang....in years but not in the mind!

Hi Billy,

a lot of my ancestors lived in Grace St and they were called Neely. I also have relatives who lived in and around Whitehall St and their name was Hill. My uncles were called Neil & David
