Third from the left is Ron McKinnon; Mr Angus MacKinnon, manager of the bar, Mrs E Archibald and Mrs Sinclair both from Laurieston House. Do you know anyone else in this photograph? If so please get in touch.

Pennies collected by customers and staff were pushed over by Rangers and Scottish international footballer Ron McKinnon. The pile of pennies amounted to £56 18s 6d, and goes to the Mentally Handicapped Children, Laurieston House, Carlton Place, Glasgow. A raffle was held to guess the total number of pennies and the £11 proceeds also went to the Mentally Handicapped Children.

Do you know anything about this pub, then please get in touch.

The Clady Bar

January 2, 2017 by John Gorevan Leave a Comment

108-10 Govan Street now Ballater street, Glasgow. G5 0TW. Demolished.

Clady Bar. 1960’s.

This 1960s photograph was taken shortly before it was demolished.

There has been a pub on this site since 1834, probably a two storey building with the licensed premises on the ground floor and living accommodation above. Landlord Robert McFarlane, wine & spirit merchant owned the business from that time until around 1851.

Mr William Kirkwood then took over the running of the pub. He resided with his family at 31 Florence Street before moving to Gallowflat Place, Wardlawhill then to 172 Main Street, Rutherglen. When Mr Kirkwood passed away his wife had no alternative but to run the business as she had a family to look after, she occupied the premises for around ten years before selling up.

In 1898 David Blanche took over, he continued to serve the locals here until the end of the First World War.

From 1920 till 1958 the pub was run by publican Cameron Dey before Magnus O’Donnell took over, who was the last licensee to occupy the premises before it was demolished, just like all the rest of the old pubs in the Gorbals.

Do you remember this old Pub? If so please leave a comment.
