Hello to all, My late Dad was born in Bridgeton and raised in the Govan. Dad served with the Seaforth Highlanders in WW2, His name was John Ferguson. I saw a photograph which I think originated on this web site. It was taken in Bridgeton 1914 a farewell to Soldiers HLI on main street Bridgeton and I was wondering if any of the people in the photograph were named, Some of the ladies had babies wrapped in their plaids. Thank you for your time

A HUGE thank you to Will for a great website and for his personal assistance in clarifying some finer points regarding geography in 1930s/40s Gorbals/Glasgow Green/Bridgeton, needed as part of my research for the sequel to my novel, \'White Ashes\'. Your input will help me add a real sense of \'presence\' to the characters lives as children in this area at the time. Could not be more pleased!

Found an old school photograph of Tureen Primary Street School taken 30 April 1953. I think the teacher is a New Zealander, Miss Barwick. This class would probably be Primary 4. There are 34 in the photo, but only 8 boys. Not sure how I upload photo, but I\'ll try. It would be good to know if anyone recognises any of the pupils.
