August 2011, Ian Stewart,
Rutherglen, Glasgow
.... please find enclosed an old John Street Primary school photograph from
June 1957 for the GlescaPals website.
The names I have put in I hope are right.
Austin & Stewart Pirnie were twins but I am not sure if I have got
them the right way round!
Christine McCulloch stayed opposite our family in Greenlodge Terrace
and her brother Jim is in the 1957 fitba
photograph.
Ian McDonald was the school dux.
Stewart Gormal was in the 219th BB he stayed in Dalmarnock Rd next to
the school, I am sure he played in the senior secondary school team that won
the Scottish Schools Cup against Foresters of Edinburgh. I met him some
years ago at Southcroft Park in Rutherglen and he was still playing football
for Dutch Airlines and traverlling the world ( nothing like a good Brigton
education! )
Sadly the boy next to him, a good school pal of mine, Ian Anderson
passed away a couple of years ago.
Greenhead Street and Greenlodge Terrace boys always had a great affiliation
with the 219th BB & John St School and
when I read Ian Holmes story about the school fire
it brought back memories as we stayed directly above him and also had a
grandstand view.
My memories of Bridgeton are of a thriving busy but very happy place to
live. But when it was foggy and dark and under the old gas lights on the way
home from the BB on a Friday down by the old Glasgow Green it could appear
quite scary, so it made you hurry home and yiour wee Ma was glad to see you
in!

photo and for sharing your lovely memories of your school, your pals and of
