Many thanks. Sorry for late response...I lost this thread :( :clap:

Billy's brother, James, was killed in a mining accident aged 14.

30 August 1895
Fatal Colliery Accident at Uddingston – On Friday, while a boy named James Semple, aged 14, son of James Semple, ostler, residing at Kirkwood, near Uddingston, was engaged guiding bogies in Nackerty Colliery No 3, belonging to the Glasgow Iron and Steel Company, one of the bogies left the rails, knocking away a post, when a large stone fell from the roof, crushing the boy so seriously about the back and chest that he succumbed to his injuries early on Saturday morning. [Scotsman 2 September 1895]

i would say the picture is spring 1967, because the Ford Corsair at the front of Kerrydale St is an E reg
I thought might be a '6' or a 'B' rather than an 'E'... either is possible since suffix letters weren't generally introduced to Scottish car registration plates until 1964 (B). :hmmm:
would have to be AGG,BGG or CGG if it was a B, or KGG,LGG or MGG if it was an E, looks like KGG ---E (Jan-Mar) 1967

That is a smashing picture.

Took me a while to get my bearings there for a moment.

I'm assumining that's London Road school in the background with the old bridge that came down before my time.

Embdy any idea when the bridge came down?...

Ah, Red Hackle whisky. That must have disappeared from the shelves in the late 1970s and I never tasted the stuff. I do recall watching Lanark United win the final of the Red Hackle Cup - can,t recall the opposition- at Fir Park circa 1974 when I was 15. (Brands like Dewars, Black & White and Haig all vanished by the end of the 70s due - IIRC- some EEC directive.
Dewars is still around (if you look hard enough)

I went for an interview at a brand consultancy a wee while ago and the long lost Dewars was in amongst their recent work.

Remember White Horse?

I was too young to drink it, but I recall seeing bottles strewn around the place.

So much going in this photo.Like a Lowry painting for Tims!
Aye, the majority of guys are wearing suits and ties. The lack of any scarves makes me think it's not a match day; maybe collecting tickets for a future game or these guys have come straight from work (though no boiler suits, donkey jackets and working boots etc) to see the team return?

There's no women visible but also nobody under 18 either. A cracking picture nevertheless.
Most adults wore a suit, jacket and tie - if they were going out at the weekend. The idea of grown men wearing football strips would have been seen as bizarre. Were they even for sale? The odd kid - yes. But never a grown man. Even scarfs were few and far between - perhaps at Cup Finals you might have seen more colour. I must admit I still find it a wee bit odd to see adults dressed up in football jerseys at matches. I know it's the "fashion" of today - but people did know how to dress in the 1960's. :thumbsup:

Anyone over the age of 17 has no business wearing a replica strip.

Lest they wish to look foolish.

Old retro numbers for playing fives, like the 1980 cup final one or the Lisbon version are accepted as having a certain style.

The bridge came down in 1983.

The Celtic View printed the following:

THE BRIDGE O’ER LONDON ROAD


For many a year I stood
I carried many a load
Across the way from Celtic Park
The bridge o’er London Road

And when the fans approached me
They all would raise their eyes
They knew when they came near me
They were close to Paradise

And I’ve seen every manager
From Maley to McStay
McGrory, Stein and now McNeill
The men who led the way

The players’ names all are legion
They strived with all their might
To bring honour, fame and glory
To the colours green and white

Kelly, Tully, Crum, Deleany
They fought through thick and thin
King Kenny, Tommy McInally
Peerless Patsy, Jimmy Quinn

McGrory of the golden head
John Thomson’s regal grace
Napoleon, Jinky, Yogi
The McPhails and the McStays

I’ve seen thousands gather
In the year of sixty seven
When came forth the European Cup
With the fans in seventh heaven

The Exhibition trophy
On their sideboard they can show
Likewise the Coronation
And nine League flags in a row.

Today you’ll never walk alone
The fans will loudly sing
As they cheer McGrain and Nicholas
Burns and Provan on the wing

So now my task is over
I’ve carried my last load
Good luck, thanks for the memories
Hail and farewell !
From the bridge o’er London Road

One of my biggest regrets is that Santos didn't qualify as SA champions that year.

Imagine Pele playing at Hampden :pray: We would have broken all attendance records.

Sure it was '83?

I started going to Parkhead with various family members and with fair regularity around 1980ish and I just can't seem to recall it ever being there.

That said, if you are correct then I would have been 10 when it came down, so maybe my memory between ages 6-10 was not the greatest.

I thought you were going to say it came down in about 1974 or something like that.
