This picture was taken from the TV screen from a programme about the changes in Glasgow. This sink may be in the Tenement House in Hill Street but I know the sink we had in the 1940/50s looked like this , note the wringer and the bar of carbolic soap (posted by Bunty)

When we moved to Springburn I was too young to do much housework. However, when I was old enough I looked after my two brothers and my cousin who lived in Horne Street, just off Hawthorn Road. To have a bath we had to travel to my granmothers house in Nairnside Road, otherwise we washed in the kitchen sink. Which only had a cold tap and a boiler at the side for hot water. We went outside to play, I recall a lot of kids playing in the back courts. I also remember old guys used to come round and sing and people would throw pennies out the window for them. I went to the brownies which was held in a church opposite the Caley. I also went to dance classes which were held by a dance teacher my mother had also attended some 20 odd years previously. We got thurpence a day before decimilisation, after which we received 2 pence a day! We didn't get fixed pocket money, but our grandparents were very generous.
