Ally Park flag pole.

There was a fabulous "fish & chip" shed about this position, where you always went to get a "poke" of chips for 3 pennies - we kids could seldom afford a fish, so it was just loads of chips for those pennies with tons of salt and vinegar (so that bad was soaking right through to the newspaper it was wrapped in.

Child's paddling pool and sand pit. Adjacent to that was a Games hut with an area where a large black and white squares were painted on the concrete, and the "old men" (never women) played drafts, with long poles with a hook on one end so they could move the pieces which had corresponding lifting 'eyes'.

Future site of the Art Deco Cinema in Riddrie, opened in 1938, renamed the Vogue in 1950, in 1968 it became a bingo hall and remains so to this day.
