Our Life in Wine Alley

Our Name Lennox, William and Jean Lennox, My granda and gran they lived 20 Kellas street ,Wine Alley Govan Granda had Barrows (carts) they could be pulled by Hand , he hired them out for shillings and 6 pence for the day used to do "Flittings" granda was also a Lampliighter, they had four Boys and one Girl , sons Sammy , William, Michael (Mick) and Alex, Jean was the daughter, gran's sister lived facing the wee swing park in Lettoch street her hubby our uncle Mick was the park keeper,
I was born in 20 Kellas street 1445 and I disagree that the Wine alley contained anly people who were deprived, for I can tell you the whole of Britain was deprived, when I married I lived in a 5 bedroom Detatched newly built home , when I look back I know that Wine Alley days were the happiest days of my life , I never felt deprive, where you have love in your home you are never deprived ? My cousin Alexander Lennox his mother was Elizabeth Brown her father as I remember was john Brown so Alexander had two sets of grand parents lived in Kellas Street Wine Alley and he also has very fond memories of Wine Alley , sorry I only have photo.s of back courts where the Air raid shelters were built of Brown Brick, janette lennox (now Ross)

Hi folks in 1960-61 i lived in langlands rd. The wine ally was my milk run, i picked up my milk at the co-op at the end of langlands rd and off i went. In all the years of doing this i never felt in any danger from anyone in the wine ally far from it, if they were skint you did not get paid and if they were flush you got a big tip, i have great respect for everybody who lived there and wish them all the best jim

Hi I spent the later part of my teens in THE WINE ALLEY with friends who lived there i.e Betty Connor ,Dinah Campbell,Cathy Curry, Cathie Kidd,Josie Beattie to name only a few. Never at any time did we feel threatened or in any danger,if I mention the place I stay in now some people will give me that look as if to say oh that is a rough area,, yes there is the odd scuffle but in all the years we have stayed here,thats not bad
