The large vacant area on the west bank of the Kelvin was the site of the D&W Henderson & Co. Meadowside Shipbuilding yard and drydock, later owned by Harland and Wolff, and closed 1962.

The museum location was the site of the Pointhouse Shipyard of A&J Inglis Ltd (later Harland and Wolff) which closed in 1962.

I too spent many happy days climbing our own Alps in the fom of the sugrolly Mountains. Today I have in my early 60s narrowly avoided death apparently at the hand of some chemical muck ingsted in my youth. Does any one know of what thethe Suggies had other than the power to burn the knees ns rse out of my trousers as a boy? This may lead me somewhere? Any ideas? jim.lambie50@btinternet.com

My name is Rosemary. I grew up on Longstone road. I remember walking to school (St. Modens) and watching my father who was a construction worker, working up on the fifteen floor. That was the early sixty's. Anyone who lived on Longstone road in the sixty's give a shout. I would love to hear from you. I went on to St Gregory's was there till I was about fourteen then moved to the USA. Have great memories of growing up in Cranhill and will always cherish them.

Excellent place to go if you want to be ignored by a guy who won't stop talking into his phone while he serves you. Or look at you, or acknowledge you when you ask him for anything. Don't waste your cash here.

I felt obliged to give this road some sort of description. :-)

wow - just came across this while reading the news! living in England now, I often read all about the Cranhill I loved and still miss. My parents still live there, being born and bred in Strone Road before moving to Crowlin Cres when I was a teenager. Cranhill Secondary was THE place. The school had more ups than downs. I still think Mr Ingram was the hottest thing on the planet. And Miss Meikle still scares me lmao. Last time I went up to see my parents I was amazed at the differences in the area. Many happy memories from Cranhill......I am proud to be from there.
