.......... thought you might like this photo of
Connal street, No 1 on the corner (left) was
where my husband and his family lived, as you
will know Springfield Primany school was on the
right and the red building right on the corner
was near to where Dalmarnock Parish
Church once stood, that's where we were
married....... |

Hey Wull: Another great picture of the
neighbourhood. I am a wee bit puzzled though, I
remember the school being the length of Connal
Street and around Lily Street. Didn't the church
used to go from Lily Street around Springfield Road?
with the main entrance to the church on Springfield
Road. Please tell me I'm not having a senior moment.
Loved the picture, the whole right hand side is all
new to me.

The school took up the whole of the south side of
Connal Street and part of the 'wee' boys playground
wound right into Baltic Street. The girls playground
was in Lily Street and most of where the Community
Centre now is was where that playground was. Part
the centre was where the old church was but most of
that spot was where the school itself was.
