I have a photo of it taken a couple of years ago I took for another Rootschatter which I'll try and locate and post. I worked round corner in the early 1980s and can remember there was also a Post office - a grand Victorian building alas gone now too. I remember one of our customers (I worked for the dole in Megan St) offering me a wee nip out of his bottle of Lord knows what in the queue. I was queuing for stamps he was cashing his giro lol. I declined!

    Ann, 
              I remember going to Megan Street to sign on unemployed a few times in the eighties.        You might even have served me.       I lived in the high flats at Allan St, Dalmarnock at the time - awful place.       I had to get out.

                                                                                    Brian
P.S.    There were two banks at Bridgeton Cross, the Royal & the Bank of Scotland.      I used to go into the Royal.         I used to go to Shawfield.
I was a Clyde supporter.
