August
2011, Ian Stewart, Rutherglen, Glasgow
.... please find enclosed an old John Street
Primary school photograph from June 1957 for the
GlescaPals website.
The names I have put in I hope are right.
Austin & Stewart Pirnie were twins but
I am not sure if I have got them the right way
round!
Christine McCulloch stayed opposite our
family in Greenlodge Terrace and her brother Jim
is in the 1957 fitba
photograph.
Ian McDonald was the school dux.
Stewart Gormal was in the 219th BB he
stayed in Dalmarnock Rd next to the school, I am
sure he played in the senior secondary school team
that won the Scottish Schools Cup against
Foresters of Edinburgh. I met him some years ago
at Southcroft Park in Rutherglen and he was still
playing football for Dutch Airlines and
traverlling the world ( nothing like a good
Brigton education! )
Sadly the boy next to him, a good school pal of
mine, Ian Anderson passed away a couple of
years ago.
Greenhead Street and Greenlodge Terrace boys
always had a great affiliation with the 219th BB &
John St School and when I read Ian Holmes story
about the school fire
it brought back memories as we stayed directly
above him and also had a grandstand view.
My memories of Bridgeton are of a thriving busy
but very happy place to live. But when it was
foggy and dark and under the old gas lights on the
way home from the BB on a Friday down by the old
Glasgow Green it could appear quite scary, so it
made you hurry home and yiour wee Ma was glad to
see you in!

memories. |

photies and memories in GlescaPals.....
