Springfield Primary School  cc1883

 

Springfield Primary School in Dalmarnock, these photographs were taken cc1883

 

Connel Street the boys playground is on the right 
.

To the right is the end of Connel Street, then it turns into Lily Street. 
 Dalmarnock Parish Church was on the other side of this and to the left.

. 

I have received e-mails from Glesga Pals and the consensus is that Springfield Primary School in Lily St / Connel St  existed in 1883 until 1969.  This old building then became 'Our Lady of Fatima school' before being destroyed by fire in August 1973.

new Springfield Primary School on Allan Street in Dalmarnock taken shortly after it opened in February 1969.
   
This new school had a capacity for over 400 pupils but with a declining population, as local tenement houses were being demolished, the school roll fell to under 100 pupils by 2003. This school is closed and pupils attend Dalmarnock PS.
A new super primary school for Bridgeton & Dalmarnock is being built next to Dalmarnock School to house pupils from Springfield, London Rd, Barrowfield & Dalmarnock schools............due in 2006.
