"My Great Granny Robina
Rankin lived at No.62
Lily Street which is the close near the
end of the street at the white car
Many a happy time spent in this house 1 up
right during the 1950s and
60s. Very fond memories of this house
especially the parties at
Ne'erday!
She died in this house 17 Feb 1968, 08:00pm
aged 81yrs.
I was 14 at the time and I remember 'having'
to go into her bedroom to see her lying in her
coffin.
In those days only men went to the funeral and
I remember my mother, granny and aunties all
crying
at the windows as we ( the men ) left with the
cortege to her final resting place in
Sandymount Cemetery.
My great Uncle Bobby Rankin remained in the
house till his death in Feb.1985."

Hello Webmaister: ...... lovely pages
you have of Lily Street. The picture taken
from Springfield Road, is all new to me, and
not the way I remember it. In my mind's eye, I
can still see Springfield school, and the
church around the corner next to it and
Craig's dairy across the street. All the
new houses look great, even the view down to
Kinnear Road, where the railway and the
stables used to be.

direction onto the site where Our Lady of
Fatima Chapel used to be

This map will give you an idea where I
stood taking

Dalmarnock Community Centre, 3 Lily Street.
The old Springfield Primary School 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 Dalmarnock Parish church was but most of
this location was where the school itself was.
The church was situated at 103 Springfield
Road and closed in 1977
