In addition my first posting there was 2 Plaques with the names of the fallen of Lyon Street. First one was above the bar of Garscube Bar on Garscube Road on the corner of Lyon Street the second was in St Joseph's Rc Chapel North Woodside Road which ran accross the bottom of Lyon Street. When the bar was demolished in the 1960s the plaque vanished then when the chapel was pulled down the plaque there vanished also. Does anyone reading this have any in formation on these 2 plaques, as The school now built on Raglan St and Lyon Street St Joseph's Primary has tried to find them. they even got a new plaque with just the poem on it. They would like to get the original so they can see the names and have the mens names placed on the plaque in the school. Please if anyone has information let me know here. Thanking all in advance Hudggy
Hello Hudggy, my name is Dex and I was brought up in the Cowcaddens during the period 1957 - 1964.My mother whose maiden name was Rice, lived with her family at 32 Lyon street in the 1930's.I am in touch with the MSP for Maryhill as it is called now due to boundary changes, who is Patricia Ferguson,to see if we can have a replacement plaque or other form of memorial made and put in place.I look forward to hearing from you.
