75 Main Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow. G40 1QB. Closed Down.

Shaw’s Bar. 1991.

This very old Bridgeton bar has closed it’s door many times in recent years. There was a pub on this site in 1849 occupied by publican Joseph Porter. Over the years many publicans have come and gone, some of them staying longer than others, Daniel Ward served the locals here for nearly 20 years, he also ran licensed premises in Crown Street, Thistle Street and East Clyde Street, he sold up in 1890 to Michael Cunningham, he too owned another pub on the Broomielaw. Mr Cunningham paid an annul rent of £39.00 to owner of the premises Colonel Murray and the Offices of the 3rd Battalion Highland Light Infantry.

Arthur Mone’s Bar with the Highland Light Infantry coming out of their head-quarters which was next door to the pub. The soldiers were on their way to fight in the First World War, many of the young men never returned.

Some of Glasgow’s best known publicans owned this pub including Arthur Mone, Lawrence Brady and Hugh Shaw who the pub was named after. Arthur Mone was a renowned licensee, he was firstly a medical student and went into the licensed trade before the 1920s, he owned some of the best pubs in Glasgow including the Mone Inn, Gallowgate and 485 Govan Road. His family of sons went on to become doctors, Doctor Arthur J Mone was also a director of the Clyde Football Club and doctor to the team, Dr Gerald Mone and another son went into priest hood Rev. John Mone. In 1920 Arthur Mone sen. contested Dalmarnock Ward at a municipal election and succeeded in polling over 3000 votes.

The pub was then sold on to another well known publican Lawrence Brady, owner of the Shandon Bells chain of pubs in Scotland Street, Candleriggs, Abercromby Street and Argyle Street the now famous Buttery.

Hugh Shaw took over the pub in 1952, the name Shaw’s has stuck with the pub ever since. I passed the pub August 2005 and the pub was closed down, it once had a great Victorian bar and gantry which was ripped out of the pub in the early 1990s.

Many will remember this old pub as Tony’s Bar named after licensee Anthony (Tony) McAulay 1950s to late 1970s.

There has been licensed premises here since 1837. Owner George Wood traded as a victualler and spirit merchant here until the 1850s.

In 1859 Englishman, Grocer, Wine & Spirit Merchant William Lind took over the business, he stayed at 152 Old Dalmarnock Road with his wife Elizabeth and a large family of children all of whom worked in either the pub or the licensed grocer shop.

The family run business was a success until 1891 when the business was sold to Thomas McCormick.

Thomas McCormick came to Glasgow at an early age from County Fermanagh, Ireland. He entered into the employment as a steel worker in Blochairn Works before becoming one of the east ends most popular publican. He opened his fist pub in the Gallowgate in 1879 then another in Little Street, Calton, Sister Street at the corner of Broad Street, many will remember this old pub as the Olympia Bar, then Old Dalmarnock Road was added, all his pubs adorned the name McCormick’s with wines & spirits at each side of his name.

Mr McCormick became a prominent figure in the Licensed Trade Defence Association, becoming convener of the Camlachie Division and a member of the Glasgow Executive Board, he was also a member of the Eastern and Clydesdale Merchants Association and took a great interest in the Sir William Wallace Four-in-Hand Club.

Thomas died in 1905, the funeral was held in S. Mary’s Church, Abercromby Street, hundreds turned out to pay their respects, over forty carriages followed him to his resting place at old Dalbeth Cemetery. During the progress of the mourning many shops were closed and blinds were drawn to show respect for this popular gentleman.

The pub stayed in the family until the 1930s.
