Flats at 80 Clyde Street Glasgow

[Baird]

can anyone tell me where I can see a photograph of the tenement building that used to be at 80 Clyde Street in Glasgow. Probably immediately above the Clutha Bar.

Many thanks,

Baird

What time period are we talking about ?

The area around the Clutha was East Clyde Street and Great Clyde Street went westwards from there to Jamaica Street. 80 Great Clyde Street was near the junction with Jamaica Street.

Sometime in the 1920's/30's Glasgow had a great renumbering and renaming exercise when many streets names ceased to exist and the buildings renumbered completely. Clyde Street as we know it today probably came into being during that period - No. 80 could well have been further west than the Clutha.

Added : checking Google maps puts 80 Clyde Street west of Bridgegate and into what would have been Great Clyde Street.

Thanks for the info Falkyrn, that would seem very likely as the previous addresses were in Anderston(Picadilly Street and Bishops Street). The family were resident at 80 Clyde Street in the 1891 census . The wife died there in 1895 and no sign of the father or any of the 5 surviving children in the 1901 census. Oral history has it the father went to sea as a stoker with Anchor line and stayed with relatives when on leave.
I take it you think 80 Clyde Street would have been around the Central Station Railway bridge at the Broomielaw?

The Broomielaw as today was basically the westward extension of what was then Great Clyde Street. The Virtual Mitchell Library has a picture of a pub at 100 Great Clyde Street so I think No 80 would have been around where Dixon Street meets Clyde Street today, or at least in that vicinity.

Thank you for that information,

Thanks from me too Falkryn as your info clarifies what I thought

My relatives came from Ireland in 1890 and from then, until at least 1913 they lived at 69 Clyde St
( multi occupancy building) which came under Anderston District. St Marks Parish

I was certain that they lived to the west of Jamaica St
Head of house was a dock labourer and I know also worked on ships from Glasgow-Derry.
All  the marriages that I found for their children took place in St Patricks in Anderston which opened in 1898

Also by looking at the enumeration info at 1891 and 1901
 ED3 644/10 covers roughly Nos 20 - 90 Clyde St

Thanks Annep,
with odd and even numbers does that suggest there were homes on either side of the street?

I don't think so Baird, although I could be mistaken as I can'y think of how the numbering would have worked otherwise
I was looking at old maps on Google images today and although there are clearly buildings on the river side of Clyde St, they look like docks buildings to me.
No more than 2 or 3  storeys high?
