Pictorial map of Glasgow, early 1960s

[NE Cornerbear]

Thanks for posting. Excellent find. However, my guess is that the map is later than early ’50’s. Firstly, Sir Basil Faulty’s (sic) flats in the Gorbals were built 60-62. Secondly, didn’t the trams stop running in the autumn of ’62? If so, that is why trams are not shown on the map. Possibly 63 or 64? Who can give a more precise answer?

I agree its later than the fifties, 10pin bowling only became populat here in the mid sixties, re the Hampden Bowl, I remember it being there 1966 onwards.

Just noticed we're "The Rangers Football Club".

Don't tell the Tim's that it's because we were incorporated as 'The Rangers Football Club Limited' in 1899

First home was a room and kitchen and outside toilet in Partick. No hot running water. Used to have a tin bath in front of the fire. There were some great shops on Dumbarton Road. The good old days.

Thanks Mark

A fantastically interesting post !

Is there any way you could create a downloadable item/file for these pictures which I, for one, would be delighted to have - a donation to FF or RFC ?

Brings back memories of family members who worked at the shipyards abd my grandma’s house on Crossland Place off Crossland road in old Govan.

Great memories of old Glasgow. No motorway or Express way.
Night games pre motorway to Edinburgh via Alexander Parade from the west end were a bit of a nightmare.

Thank you for that I hadn't realised that was possible.

Just reminds me of my early days which I am happy to recall.
