Remembering Old 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, or INSULTING LANGUAGE, please. 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 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.
Have fun

Hiya All,
Just wanted to comment on the lass.. with the magical voice... her face, voice and story are flying around the world on the web..and for me.. when I first heard her sing, like so many others...I was moved to tears... and when ah heard her speak... the fair flowed doon ma cheeks. She may not be a Springy..but, she does exemplify all the heart, the sweetness and the humility so, I for one wanna claim her.....but, she didna' let her dream die.. even though she spent her life caring for ailing parents..... being a wee Scottish lass from a wee toon... Ahh .. Susan lassie.... yea have ma vote... Way to Go Girl... Go Get it and fulfill all yer dreams.... God's given you a rare instrument... and I look forward to hearing much more. |

Went to Albert School till June 1959. Found an old school photo of clas 1GA. IN 1957 one of them I discovered was Bunty.Lived in Springburn Park
It was a lively park then but is nothing like that now. Used to play tennis and was on the putting green quite often. I will scan the photo and have it on a new thread very soon. |
