As a shop fitter I see a lot of these old signs etc it’s amazing when we come across this kind of stuff

Was wandering around the City Centre with my partner on Saturday & was spotting a few ‘ghost signs’ after watching this video a few days ago. ⭐️

Lovely subject Ed. What skills our forebears had. Sign-writers are much valued now, because I suspect it's a dying artfrom. Yes it's heart-breaking that someone would hack off beautiful bits of a more refined and beautiful past, without a second thought. Tossed into the gutter. *sob*. It's something to be thankful for, that anything from the past is retained for us to marvel at. I was reading the other day about The White Swan hotel, ( a 300-year-old coaching Inn ) that has a dining room which is basically the saved interior from the Ocean Liner, RMS Olympic. Amazing! So I enjoyed your video very much and learned a few things I wasn't previously aware of. I remember the 'Two Ways' from the 80's, because it's where an old pal of mine used to drink. I've never set foot inside it, but yes, it is a rather distinctive old tenement that 'sits upon' it. I've always called it the Rab. C. Nesbit pub. :) Fascinating that so much of what we see and take for granted is but a veneer, on top of something very different.

Hi Eddy, really intriguing subject for this video. As you mentioned, ghost signs are a great way of reliving the past history or story of a building. Unfortunately today’s younger folk don’t pay enough attention to this type of signage. Well done on surpassing 1000 subscribers, you deserve so much more. Looking forward to many more adventures, your videos provide great content and interesting information. Take care Eddy and stay well, regards, Rob.

Good man. Enjoy watching your videos. Originally from Havelock Street, now in the US. Keep them coming, please.

Hello fella! Thoroughly enjoy your content, You motivate and inspire me and no doubt many many others, I’d just like to say a very big thank you. Keep up the good work!

Hello Eddy, fun wee video that was Today pal, ( Ghoulies ) hahaha not sure you would get away with that one Eddy on National tv... just like you i always keep looking here in Cambridge for old shop,pub,Tavern,Inn ,signs and your right it is facinating stuff. Also look forward to 26th when we can get you back out on the pie trail, as always Eddy all the best pal take care and congrats on the 1000 subs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🥃

I’ve been walking the canal in sections, it’s been nice seeing the various parts of Glasgow along the water, you were one of my you tube inspirations to get out and explore, so thank you for that. Still enjoy your quiet videos from home with dry wit making me chuckle. 😃

Thank you🇺🇸

Another great video eddie congrats on your 1k subscribers! You deserve alot more! Glasgow is a great city with fantastic history. Take care. Andy

Hi Ed, I used to work in the Thornwood bar and i was told by the old regulars that it used to have cages of budges and canaries hanging from the ceiling. No idea how they would have survived the smoke in the air of the pub. Also my Grandads photo is on the wall of the Dolphin. Keep safe.

Well done Ed, This is very interesting. It's strange how we only notice things like this when we're older. When I talk to my sons or my grandchildren about the past they glaze over and yawn. Oh well, their time will come I'm sure. I regret not having asked my parents more before they passed away and took their memories with them. My mum was from Maryhill and my dad was from Clydebank. They must have had lots of memories I'm sure but when you're younger you're not interested. Congratulations getting 1000+ subscribers, it's a nice thing for you to have. Loved your Scottish flag, the first thing I said to my wife was, he's having a laugh at the politicians who always have a very large flag in their house when doing an interview. Apologies if I'm wrong. Keep up the good work Ed, it'll be nice seeing you out in the countryside soon. Ian and Angie.

Hi Eddy really good video I am nearing retirement and like nothing better than exploring Glasgow there are so many interesting things to see . I am from the east end originally but am now in your neck of the woods. I am particularly interested in the original street signs of which there are many. Keep up the good work all the best John PS I love the old pubs in particular!

Ed, it is the quality of your subscribers, not the quantity of course.

1000 subscribers is no mean feat Eddy. You need to push for folk to share your videos around more and open an Instagram Account for the channel...
