Great photos Steve...lots of memories there..the Steamie, I well remember the stalls where the sinks were and the big round thing in the centre of the first pic is a spin dryer. The steamie was upstairs and you had to 'bump' the old pram full of washing up to get into the steamie .You had to prebook your ticket and were given a time slot. As a girl I used to go with my mother but no children were allowed in so we had to sit at the top of the steps and wait. The public baths were also up the srairs where you had the woman in charge fill up your bath then turn it off...no taps on the bath she used a nut wrench!. When I moved back to Springburn in 1964 after I married I still used the steamie for about 3 years. The black & white photo of Balgary swing park shows the big shed at the far end , it had a wooden bench that ran all the way round it and we used to get up and run all the way round..dare devils, eh. The picture with the tram and showing the fruiterers shop , well I lived in the flat above the fruit shop for a couple of years. Thanks for that.

Think the picture of the interior is wrong. I remember the hall being fairly basic with a large floor and a stage, We used to have the BB displays there and Rettie can tell you about her first time at the dancing there. I think the picture shown is more likely to be the Cowlairs church next door pretty well as i remember it.
