'I only have lovely memories of growing up in Dennistoun'
, at 82 Coventry Drive. We used to play in the back court beside the wash house, and over the dewi, beside the canal. I remember that big house, at the bottom end of Coventry Drive and I would love to know who actually lived there. I can remember the wash house my mum visited once a week.It was a ground floor tenement, and it is still there today. I remember the closes were pink-washed.
I went to Alexandra Parade School and remember the awful outside toilets – but I was happy at school.Davidson’s was the wee shop on the corner of Coventry Drive and Harcourt Drive, and there was an Italian café at the bottom end of the road. There were fat works nearby – can’t remember what they were called – but the smell was awful on a hot summer’s day. I remember my mum saying they always attracted a lot of rats, too. The cobbled entrance to the works is still there, I believe.
