I was born in 49 Queenshill Street 1943. Maiden name Culbard. Moved to Barmulloch 94 Rye Road in 1953 , missed the flitting due to being in hospital having my tonsils out. Went to the wee Albert, then the Albert Annex. Did the Quali exam and went on to the Big Albert. Got married in March 1964 in Springburn North Church, at the Balgray swings and came back to Springburn to 538 Springburn Road ( 3 up middle)(across from Kay Street) had one son then moved 2 years later to 558a Springburn Road (above the sports shop on the corner of Springburn Road and Northcroft Road) then had another son.
But before all that I started work in Collins the book publishers in Cathedral Street,Townhead when I was just turned 15. Also at 15 I had a Saturday job in the Polly aka Lewis's Polytechnic in Argyle Street and after finishing there in the evening I sold pies and Bovril at the Ashfield dog track. As a young mother I worked also for a time in the newer Santi's chip shop, The New Yorker, at the top of Queenshill Street washing the dishes...was asked to work on the front counter but being backstage was more my forum. Their other shop was in Blenheim Street where as a girl I was sent for fish and chips. I also took in sewing alterations, including Stevie Chalmers's wife's fairly fancy dresses and other folks dubious alterations..zips and hems, curtains and the like.
My dad was the foreman plumber for McNeils the plumbers in Northcroft Road. My brother still lives in Balornock and for my own sins I now live at the very bottom edge of England with my lovely Maryhill born husband of 45 years.
