Some of the "play areas" outside the flats would not be buit nowdays..do you remember the concrete rectangle things for stepping on (playing jumps on) outside 131 Allen Street …CRACK!

What about the tree log that was always set on fire, or inside the concrete tubes where you had to watch out for random jobbies.. !

Was this one Maxwell Court? I cant remember… anyhow bring on the Commonwealth Games !

I don’t want to sound like I am reminiscing too much about Dalmarnock, but I grew up in this flat in the 70’s, and I think they had better consideration for young families than most of the new private estates that we are all mortgaged up in now-days.

All 4 flats had a proper play areas for the kids, the school was right there,& there was loads of open space for football or ball games, not like spam valleys that have been created with no areas for kids to play cos it’s a potential £200K house

Skip to 2.40 if you don't want to endure nearly 3 minutes of shaky handycam footage.
