The family continued in this Gushet bar until the late 1950s, Matthew and Robert were both licensee. In 1960 Ronald Williamson took over the licence as trustee, he also took over the old pub at 3-5 Greendyke Street at the Glasgow Green for the late Joseph Anderson. The old Gushet Bar was used by students in the early part of the 70s and was finaly demolished when the Cowcaddens was raided by the bulldozer's in the mid 1970s. |

 Green's Playhouse, 112 Renfield Street. Opened in 1927, the Playhouse operated until the 1970s, a decline in audience numbers in the 1960s necessitated diversification as a music venue until closure in 1973. The building continued in use as The Apollo, after being acquired by Unicorn Leisure on a lease-holding arrangement, until final closure in 1985, with subsequent demolition in 1987. |

 Lyon St. To mark the fallen from this small, cramped street, a detachment from the nearby Maryhill Barracks would march down Garscube Rd on November 11th each year.The last post would be sounded, a lone piper would play "Flowers of the Forest" and a plaque marking the dead would be brought out from the Garscube Bar.
Although this ended at the start of WW2, there is a replica plaque in a local primary school and another in Woodside Library. |
