I was looking through my favourite webpage and was showing Tommy (my
husband) the picture of Whitelaws pub and he remembers it as "the
seven ways" We actually had a laugh together as we were
trying to work our what would be alongside the pub as he was trying to
remember what else was there and trying to tell me where the picture
house was etc. and then we looked up at the wall in front of my
computer and there we were looking straight at two pictures we have of Bridgeton
Cross and right in the middle was the pub LOL
But in our pictures it looks like the pub was bigger, going further left
along London Road but we think now that as Glasgow folks are not
drinking so much that is probably why you have wee pubs now LOL
