Hi Wellfield I did think of Fountainwell but was not sure if it came into Springburn or Sitehill

American swings, of course, have not heard that in years.

Bye for now, Norrie

Norrie you are putting us all to shame. I just have to sit and really think about these or get my uncle to take a shot at the questions. A this stage just looking at them I don't even qualify for a look at a cuddly toy let alone get one.

Hi Norrie,I had many friends at Colston from Fountainwell Rd,so it may have come under the Springburn district,and wasn't the St Rollox offices across the street?or pretty close?

Just keep the 'heid' WF,lol. Had to look that one up as all theeasier(ahem) questions were answered by yourself and Norrie..got another couple here...
Questin 11. Portraits were William Wallace, Robert the Bruce,Walter Scott..the panels just a guess, steamships or locomotives.
Question 10. John Carrick I think was an architect. Did he design the Public baths and that's why he'd a street named after him..
Question 16. i always thought the Oddfellows were a society like the Masons but made up of Tradespeople and did good cahrity work for the poor. Would their hall have been in Vulcan St.
Question 14 Sounds like something to do with the railway.
Question 8. Mosesfiled House in Springburn park was also a museum but I don't know if this was the first in Springburn.
Question 7 . Balgrayhill Pleasure park.

That's my brain finished...hard quiz that. Hope Steve still has the answers.

Looks like I had better get started making that cuddly toy! Wonder if the oddfellows were named after the sweeties or the other way round? Do you find this valuable?

Hi jmac49, Springburn rd was the only place I knew there to be a Oddfellows hall.
I dont know anything about them so could comment as to any similarities with the Masonic.
The Masonic hall was in Vulcan st, that I do know.
