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.
