I am an Australian. My late mother was born in Number 7 in 1912. I do have a photograph of my mother and her mother outside that house in that year if anyone wants to see it. Being so old I suppose it is a bit of history and of some interest.

I would love to see that picture if it still available. I now live at no. 8 ruskin square and there is very little available on the history of the square.

Hello Lorraine,
I do not think I can send the photo as an attachment to this message - if it can be done then it is beyond little old me. I will therefore do a copy and post it to you. I have been to the Square and have viewed No.7. It seems to have been changed (roof line) over the years and there once was a wrought iron fence out the front. I will put some other information for you in the letter I will prepare to send with the photo.
Thanks for replying,
Kevin Finlay

Dear Mr Finlay
Thank you so much for your wonderful picture and letter. It has sparked a lot of intrigue in our curious little square. I shared it on our resident's Facebook page in an attempt to gather up as much info as I could find for you. What a wonderful trip into the past. Sorry to be a pest but if you could send me your email address again as it was slightly water damaged when it landed on my doorstep. Once I have gathered it I will email all I find. The picture was haunting as over one hundred years later we all still stand at the door with children as they all still play in a square (mine not so much now as 19 and 15!!). There is a new generation of little ones. Probably because back gardens are tiny. The square has still a wonderful sense of community. We were over the moon to see a little bit of the past. Your grandmother's death hit home...I'm a charge nurse in Glasgow Royal Infirmary and have survived a covid 2nd wave. Spanish flu in the early 1900s would've been terrifying.
Thank you for your letter and anything we find we will pass on.
Kind regards
Lorraine

Thanks for that Lorraine. sylandkev (at) optusnet (dot) com.au We have been to Glasgow a couple of times. Age is going to stop us coming again I am afraid (early octogenarian). We have a grand daughter who is qualified in nuclear medicine and I think she is looking at going to work in the UK. I'll recommend Scotland to her. With a surname like Finlay she should feel at home there!!!!! She currently works at Royal Melbourne Hospital. Another grand daughter is well into her penultimate year of medicine, so I would not be surprised to see them go over there together in a couple of years time. Regards to everyone in Ruskin Square

Please let me know if you can't follow that address I included in last post. It was changed, probably a policy matter. I will write to you again by snail mail if need be but in the meantime the "at" should be @ and the "dot" should be "." Is the letter I sent you so badly damaged that you cannot work it out??????? Let me know. Perhaps try a few trial emails to me based on what you now have.
