Thanks for these photos. My dad was born in the Gorbals 1937. Lived on Cumberland St. Went to St. Francis. Sharing these photos with him has helped me understand his life a wee bit. We live in America now. Thanks again. Also, any info you may have on finding other info/pictures of the Gorbals or Govan (where my mom was from) would to terrific.

I was surfing to find old photos of the gorbals for my uncle who now lives in England and came across this wonderful site. I was born in Cally Road right opposite the cemetery gates (house no longer there) and was amazed by the photographs great work well appreciated!
