School on Kippen Street and Glenhead Street

[Janice M]

Does anyone remember the name of the school that was on both Kippen and Glenhead in the 1930's?

It is now called Greenview, and remember seeing somewhere that it was originally called Balmore, but I believe it was called something else in the 1930's and 1940's.

Both my mother and my cousin went there. Unfortunately, my mother has passed away, and my cousin was so young, she doesn't remember the name.

Thanks.

As a man, I struggle to read a woman's mind Janice, could you give me a clue what town or city you are talking about.

Sorry about that. The city is Glasgow.

How about a few more clues? Catholic or otherwise, primary or secondary? Surley Balmore was well into Possil? What makes you think it's now called Greenview?

Thank you everyone. I will let my cousin know.  Sorry Imber it was a primary public school, and I knew about the name change when I tried looking up the address and it came back with the new name.

I appreciate all your help.
