Venues ~ 1- Bridgeton Waverley Football Club, Barrowfield Park was situated at Camlachie. Founded by former pupils of Queen Mary Street School in Bridgeton, but disbanded during World War 1. Later reformed, becoming a junior club in 1924, playing their games at Shawfield before moving to Barrowfield Park. Their stay here was quite short lived as the ground became the subject of a compulsory purchase by Glasgow Corporation who needed the land for the Barrowfield housing scheme 2- Olympic Stadium 3- Celtic F C 4- Queens Recreation Ground 5 -Riverside Schools Football Ground 6- Strathclyde Juniors Football Ground : Springfield Park, it opened in 1919 and remained in use until 1965 at Silverdale Street.

The team became defunct in 1963 7- Belvidere Bowling Club 8- Carntyne Dog Track : Opened in Oct. 1927, principally as a greyhound race track, in its history used for many other sports. Laid out on the site of a farm and former flapping track, it became the venue for the Scottish Greyhound Derby, and continued dog racing until May 1972. On 6th Aug. 1928 around 35,000 fans watched a boxing match at Carntyne between Tommy Milligan and Frank Moody. Also accommodated speedway events with meetings commencing in 1928. Between 1960 and 1962 Bridgeton Waverley football team played their home fixtures at the stadium. Early 1960’s efforts were made at Carntyne to generate revenue by a variety of means. October 1962 a casino was opened within the stadium. To lure customers Greenshield Stamps were on offer in May 1963, a golf driving range was also tried that summer with 40 balls for 2/6d. June 1966 stock car racing came to Carntyne to try and make the venue sustainable. Sadly lmost nothing remains 9- Glasgow Tramways Recreation Ground (Helenvale) 10- Glasgow Corporation Transport Bowling Club 11- Parkhead Juniors Football Ground:Helenslea.

Belvidere House was sold to the Town Council in 1870 as the site for a hospital for infectious diseases. Initially, the patients were accommodated in temporary buildings in the grounds. The mansion was demolished and a nurses' home built on the site, prior to the official opening of the hospital's permanent buildings in March 1887. Belvidere became a general geriatric hospital before it closed in 1999.

Celtic Social Club

I think this building was used by a company called 'Priestman Excavators'.

This is the site of a shop known as the 'wee farm' on Cuthelton St when I was a boy living at number 68 in 1946. It was almost directly opposite the Fire Station ( officially opened 8th December 1952 and built on a site known as the 'watt'r tank') The shop was still there a year or two ago (it is 2015 now). Turnstiles into the Parkhead Juniors FC ground were right beside the shop, although the pavilion/dressing rooms were on Methven St.
