I am Brian Piggot

outside Toronto Canada . I have received
much pleasure looking at your great site
over the years and thank you for your
commitment to preserving not just Glasgow
history but its peoples history .
My late father Thomas Piggot
was born on Kerr St in July
1934 and raised at 549 London Rd attending
John Street Secondary .

Dad was a member of the 155 BB
out of Bridgeton
Methodist Church next to my old home at

Landressy St.

The 155 BB pics would be
circa 1945,
Dad is seated on the box
and the group photo
