Hi
Can anyone tell me where this is/was? I know it was in the Camlachie District, but I cannot find it on any maps.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

What year are you referring to?
-
It ran between Gallowgate and Crownpoint road

Looks like it was demolished to make way for the Crownpoint Sports Centre

Thank you Sancti.
It was around the 1920's (1921-1928 I know they lived there for sure so far).
Now on to find the nearest schools. My Gr-Gr Grandparents and my Gr-Granny haven't made this search easy!!
Thanks

One of my aunties lived in that street in the 1940s 50s.. they were strange wee houses to the front with their own door to the street.. but round the back had other houses that had a staircase on the back of the building so someone lived above. but the bulding was low like miners cottages.. across the street was a factory for milk and a garage on the corner.. it was a Shell garage.. This would probably be after your grandparents lived there.. there are some photos on butonly one of the street further down near Crownpoint road which was some type of stables for horses and carts and they had geese.. so that would have been there long before too.. get in touch if you want any more info about the area.. I lived in Fordneuk st nearby until the 70s...

Tylefield stables built for Robert Robb, contractor. These kind of brick houses with fore or back stairs proliferated in the east-end before being replaced by tenements.

I have an address for some ancestors around 1880-90's which says backlandkirk street would I be right thinking that would have been in this same area?

@ Irene, the Glasgow sandstone tenements largely date from the late 1800's to the Great War. Tenements built after then are generally concrete. There are odd survivors of the old houses, a couple of restored examples in the Gallowgate which are 18th century. (Hielan Jessie's pub!) There were even single storied thatched hooses in the Drygate not all that long ago. As land was at a premium & tenements packed more people to the acre, the 19th century houses were swept away. It was strictly business! ;D
