Remembering Old Springburn - Reminiscences of Springburn

Welcome Everyone

This site is a resource and gathering point for people who once lived in Springburn to the late 70s. This will include Petershill, Balornock and Barmulloch. Given the widespread destruction of the area in the 1970s recollections of what has become a vanished world are fading fast and our aim is to gather memories of Old Springburn under one umbrella before they disappear altogether. We can all do that by sharing pics and memories. Please note: This site is self editing and can take a little bit of time to get used to. You must register in order to post your own stories about your schools, your football teams, workplace, the once famous shops and also a section to build up old photographs of Springburn in the pre demolition period. Please do this; it costs nothing, you won't be spammed and it means the site can grow and be original.

We want to encourage chat in the Discussion Forum, but KEEP THE LANGUAGE CLEAN; NO SWEARING, INSULTING LANGUAGE please also please DO NOT ADD ANY SORT OF ADVERTISING SITES ON YOUR PROFILE PAGE. Also let us know if any copyright infraction has unwittingly occurred on our side and we will put it right,either by removing or crediting any piece. DO NOT reproduce elsewhere, credited personal photos belonging to site members or any text from the TELL YOUR STORY section. All rights are reserved. We are doing everything we can to source fresh unseen material of old Springburn to share and this site is non profit and for educational / historical interest only. If you have any old photos please get in touch.
There are many people on here seeking old acquaintences from Springburn's past, just check the DISCUSSIONS tab above, or look up the page on the left side Nav bar called LOCATING OLD FRIENDS.

Have fun

Steve Dewar

jbain2 Song - help (page: 1 2) 37 Dec 17 2011, 2:37 AM EST by AnnieNelson

Can anyone help me with this song that's been running throgh my head all morning. My Mother and Aunties used to sing it but I don't know what it's called. Some of the words are:
Don't ask me, a mountain of questions
When there is only one answer to it all
If you love me, really love me, as I love you
It's the answer to everything that you do

Don't act like, you misunderstand me
When I am waiting with my arms open wide
If you love me, really love me, as I love you
It's the answer to everything that you do
(chorus)
If there is someone else, some other place
To hold your hand
Tell me now, truthfully
Before we part...........

That's all I can rememember. I'd appreciate knowing the title if anyone knows it.
Do you find this valuable?

Thanks for all the replies to my last song teaser. This one's a bit more difficult. I'd appreciate any help.
The verse ended in ....Well I wonder, just how many, there would be.
And the chorus went something like...Well now there must have been a million, 'cause everywhere you go,
You seem so well acquanted, everybody says hello.
Bit of a puzzler but I'm sure someone will know it.
