In the News 1971…

Man Charged with Pub death.

A 31 year old Glasgow man, Edward Burns, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court today on a culpable homicide charge alleging that he killed 50 year old Michael Mooney, of 104 Myrtle Park, Govanhill, Glasgow, on Saturday. The charge states that the accused struck Mr Mooney with his fist, knocked him to the ground whereby the victim sustained injuries from which he died.

The alleged offence is said to have taken place in the International Bar, Aikenhead Road, Polmadie, Glasgow. An assault charge alleged that Burns punched and kicked Alexander Mooney, of 45 Jamieson Street, Govanhill, Glasgow, in the same place, on Saturday.

Solicitor Raymond Bainbridge made no plea or declaration and the case was continued. The accused was remanded in custody for further inquiry.

437 Aikenhead Road, Glasgow. G42 0PR. Demolished.

Broons. 1991.

William Brechin & Son owned this old established pub way back in 1881. Situated at the corner of Aikenhead Road and Calder Street this pub is now known as the Mire. To read more on William Brechin click here.

Update…2009

It’s sad to see this old public house demolished.

The chip shop beside the pub left ovens on which overheated and burned down the whole corner building. Oddly enough the sandwich shop beside the Mire Bar which also was demolished after the flames destroyed it moved to the Spur Bar premises and completely destroyed the pub inside and out.

Thanks to Laurence Buchanan for this.

Mr William Bennett. 1902.
