Street name in Springburn

[Janice M]

Wow!

Thank you.

This is how I remember them.

I know when my grandmother sent me down to line up for rolls, she reminded me to be polite and say hello to people in the line. (She was no fool!) lol. She knew people would ask me where I was from, and then as expected, they would tell me to go ahead of them, and to enjoy my stay in Glasgow. (She was guaranteed to get the rolls for dinner). Too funny.

Hi Janice,
             Just spotted your enquiry. The C.W.S Funeral parlour was in Morrin St, which ran from Keppochill Rd, crossing Gourlay St and finishing at Cowlairs Rd. The Parlour I beleive is now on the restructured Springburn Rd.Palmarc

Thank you fifer1947.

I love the photos. It's sad that so many of the old buildings are either gone or in disrepair, and I certainly hope that the ones that are left can be restored to their original beauty. Unfortunately, we usually don't realize how beautiful they are until they are gone.
