This 1893 map of Glasgow is very detailed (couldn't upload a pic, anybody help?) and shows a large expense of land about the size of a football pitch (bit smaller than CP2 round corner of cemetery) along the cemetery wall, behind the aerated water works that became Barr's.


Parkhead District, 1893

If that bowling green was there in 1888 then it seems likely that CP1 was nearer Janefield Street than the Gallowgate.

The entrance to CP1 from Dalmarnock Road (the main entrance and address of the first Celtic Park) would likely have been around here, with the ground stretching up to the cemetery wall - seems plausible?

Looking at the NLS street map of Parkhead from 1858, the same expanse of ground to the side of the cemetery which could be accessed from Dalmarnock Road was empty at that time.



Eastern Necropolis, Gallowgate 1858

I think I have passed one of these on to the Wiki already. They were taken on the same August evening in 1976. It was a LC sectional game I think. Taken with my Kodak 110 camera so the quality ain't too good :)

Excellent photo :clap:

Cracking photos!! Love seeing photos taken by fans down the years and these have certainly captured a bit of history, according to a certain Willie Maley:



Willie Maley, writing his serialised life story in the Weekly Mail and Record of 1915, recalled his early visits to the first Celtic Park:

"The work of the club went on in great style, and the new ground proceeded wtih greatest keenness. The enclosure was situationed at the corner of of Janefield Street and Dalmarnock Road, bounded on one side by Janefield Cemetery. We had, in addition to the playing pitch, a practice pitch. The old pavillion still lives on in my mind. The dressings rooms were build underneath the stand, which was built to hold about 500 people. In addition we had comfortable offices in the little erection.

In the process of building the first team we used to have little practice games even before the ground was completed, and I remember my first apperance on the famous pitch. With several other younger players who had been secured before the big "catches" were made, we stripped under the shadow of the stand in course of erection, and, wearing a white shirt with a hand of green across it from shoulder to shoulder, the pioneers of the great Celtic trotted out before a handful of enthusiasts."

Definitely enough space from the wall of the cemetery up to Springfield Road (formerly Dalmarnock Road) to accommodate a football ground . . . and a wee training pitch too

Having that photo all this time and I didn't know that slice of history :ffs:

"they are walking on top of the old Celtic Park"


Here's another one, from 1979; not the best quality either, but it shows off CP from that era. It's v Dundee U., and it looks like we are scoring a penalty. According to the wiki it was on April 28. The attendance is listed as 37,000 :rubeyes: but it's plain to see that the Jungle is packed and the rangers end looks quite full too ... For some reason me and my mates took ourselves to the Main Stand that day :i_say:

Found this photo, next to it was a small paragraph on Clyde FC, saying they competed in the Glasgow Cup Final of 1892 in which they were hammered 7-1 by Celtic, could we be the side in the stripes :ponder: Or are Clyde in the stripes with Queens Park in the small hoops, and also is this Barrowfeild Park, Clyde's previous home before Shawfeild or could this possibly be another East End ground, going by the Industrial background, steelworks maybe :ponder:

This was the entrance to Barr's on the Gallowgate in 1968, with the Old Black Bull on the left of the building:

This is the Old Black Bull about two years ago, when they'd demolished the Barr's factory and started putting up the new housing. Gives an idea of the size of the land from behind the Black Bull (which has been there since before CP1) to the current Celtic Park, along the cemetery wall:

And another shot from inside the Barr's entrance in 1968 giving a view of sorts of the old factory at that point, before the extension in the 1980s:

Could that be Sandy McMahon in the pic near the goalpost on the right? :rubeyes:

According to Wiki doesn't look as though we met Clyde in the Glasgow Cup Final of 1892 (or '91 or '92) or beat them 7-1 in 1892. :ponder:

The bowling club can be seen in the image on Silverdale st, as far as I know Celtic never owned the ground. You must be thinking of Barrowfield which was originally the home of Bridgeton Waverly Juinors FC.

Came up in the GCC minutes (can't find just now) that when the council transferred land in the 'Celtic triangle' to the club part of the deal involved Celtic transferring 'Strathy Park' to the council.Strathclyde Juniors folded in 1960,maybe Celtic bought it as a training ground but then leased Barrowfield as the more suitable site ?

This is from Hidden Glasgow...........

Strathclyde Juniors played at New Springfield Park in Silverdale Street before they went defunct circa 1966. Parkhead Juniors first ground was near the junction of Shettleston Road and Old Shettleston Road 'the Sheddens'. Their next ground was located at Powfoot and Beattock Street and was known as Helenslea Park.They then moved from there to a new Helenslea Park at Cuthelton Strret and Methven Street where they played until they went defunct in 1964. Bridgeton Waverley were founded as an amatuer club by former pupils of Queen Mary Street School but they disbanded for the duration of the First World War. They reformed after the War as a Juvenile club and went Junior in 1924 and played their home games at Shawfield for the first couple of seasons before opening their own ground at Camlachie which was known as Barrowfield Park. Their ground was part of a compulsory purchase order for the building of Barrowfield Housing Scheme in 1936 and they then opened New Barrowfield Park at West-thorn on th London Road directly facing Helenslea Park home of Parkhead Juniors. New Barrowfield Park was also part of a compulsory purchase order for housing by the City Council around 1960 but it was never used for the purpose of housing and eventually became the training ground of Celtic FC. Bridgeton Waverley played their last couple of season's at Carntyne Dog Track before going out of the game in 1962. I believe that Parkhead Juniors did play a couple of season's at Helenvale Park in between the time of their move from Beattock Street to Cuthelton Street whilst their new ground was being prepared.
