Re: Jamaica Street, Glasgow (1901)
Very good detail, and much better than some of the jerky, grainy footage you often see from this era.
My father wasn't born until 1912 in Glasgow, but I imagine scenes like this must still have been very familiar to him as a boy.

Re: Jamaica Street, Glasgow (1901)
It certainly has excellent detail as John noted, it's always interesting when footage such as this emerges from the archives.:cool:
As to the familiar scenes; why not ask Elda...............some may be known to her....
..........she has been around for a year or three..:tongue: :wink:

My grandfather was a cop in Glasgow about that time.

Re: Jamaica Street, Glasgow (1901)
MY father was born in 1914 in Glasgow. He used to tell stories of going to the ice shop as a boy and being able to pick up we shards of ice to eat, He also used to go to the biscuit manufacturer and could get a bag of broken biscuits for a farthing. I do remember lots of stories he used to tell as a boy growing up around Glasgow.
