I must say the short 7 minute film about life in the Gorbals was very heart rending to me as I lived in the Oatlands area of Glasgow [born 1948] in Fauldhouse st where St Bonaventures school +”steamie” once stood, evacuated in 1961 when the back of our tenement collapsed through old age and my family +me were shifted to one of the new housing estates on the outskirts of Glasgow and I hated it. I missed the close knit community spirit etc etc, anyway Mr Leslie I could associate with all that Rose said and to me the Gorbals [I was only a 5 minute walk away from the top end of the Oatlands where I lived] will always be “the old Gorbals” in my minds eye. To see the old photos entwined with Rose’s words were very moving to me and I thank you for you creating that, I wish you good luck with the play, I wish I could see it but I left Glasgow to build bricks halfway round the world in 1968 + never returned to live [just a few holidays] and ‘am retired living in London/England. Thanks for the memory Mr Leslie.
