Laundressey Strret

[Cazza47]

Could anyone tell me where I might find something about Laundressey Street in the civil parish of Barony, it exists in the 1841 census but I cannot find it in later census's.
I think they must have been big houses because they seem to be multi occupancy, 4 families or more.
A lot of the occupants worked in the cotton industry.

     Landressy St was a short street, right next to Bridgeton Cross.     I seem to remember that it had snooker halls in it.     Used to pass by it a lot, away back in the fifties and sixties.

Jackie,
            There seems to be another photo on Glesga Pals.      (Hope you don't mind me butting in).       Google: Old photos of Landressy St, Bridgeton, Glasgow.       Click 1st item on the list that comes up.        Scroll down to second picture on the right.        Click METHODIST CHURCH.

           Scroll down and quite a lot of stuff about that area is there.      I noticed someone who went to Canada, writing about the old days.
You might like to have a look at the names mentioned here...
