Photographs of Glasgow - anyone want any taken?
« on: Sunday 18 January 09 01:47 UTC (UK) »

Hi all,

Just a thought.....
I'm always looking for a reason to go for a walk and make use of my camera.
I live in the south side of Glasgow and would be happy to take photos of addresses or areas your ancestors lived in (not just in the south side).

I've offered before to take photos of grave stones but I've never had much success in finding particular stones, it can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Roll Eyes

Obviously, a lot of Glasgow has been redeveloped. However, there are still some older buildings / undeveloped areas in existence, mostly Victorian, some Georgian.

If you'd like me to take photos, please ask. I'll see what I can do.

Dave

Hi Dave
We'll take you up on it but I have to find the addresses we need. Most are in a very close area in Govan and one is in Queen Street.
We took some in Govan when we were there in 2002 but didn't have all the addresses.
Would this be the sort of thing you are willing to do?

That's exactly what I'm offering.
Happy to do it - just send me the addresses.
Queen St is easy. I might even have some already!

Hi Dave,

What would the chances be of a 1858 grave in Eastern Necropolis cemetery still being there, or would it have vanished?

Just curious

Cheers

KHP,
I've been to The Eastern Nec a couple of times. Some of it is OK but other bits are in total disrepair.
As I said KHP, I've not had much success in looking for specific stones but I'd be happy to take some general photos. If we're lucky, I might come across your folk.

Dave,

If you don't strike it lucky, then not to worry.

My ggrandparents headstone, are similar to those, split in half, lying on the ground, with just the wording barely eligible. Sad

Cheers

Gail,
I was in Scotland Street today.
Not a lot of the original buildings left.

Scotland St school was amazing. Recommend a visit.

What number were your folks at?

Deanna / Troy
The address in Queen St is no more. Sorry.
Govan addresses next week!

Just a quick update from me.
Sorry to those that have asked for photos that I haven't replied to yet.

I still have details of requests but I haven't been out and about much recently, the weather has been lousy and I've not been of a mind to go gadabout.

I WILL get around to it sooner, rather than later. Promise.

I'm still open to new requests too.

Dave

Good weather, guilt and lack of hangover have finally kicked in all at once for this Glaswegian!

Making my way out to Govan now.

Bear in mind, this is Govan as it is now, not the Parish, which covers a much wider area.

I've got certain streets earmarked for folk that have specifically asked. However, I'll take other photos on route.

I will get to others eventually, promise.

Having said that, have you seen that Google is now taking in Glasgow just in the past few days. Brilliant.

Dave

Hello Dave. If you pass 48 Gallowgate (I know this exists as McKinnons Bar) or 116 Drygate (don't know if this exists) could you take a wee photo for me. Would be more than happy to reimburse you any costs.......cept, perhaps your shoe leather...........Thanks, Eva
