The Fallen of Bridgeton Calton, Camlachie, Dalmarnock & Mile-End The Fallen of Bridgeton Calton, Camlachie, Dalmarnock & Mile-End In The Great War 1914-18 Transcribed and Researched by Bob Currie Bridgeton Library Local History Group Roll of Honour of The Fallen of Bridgeton, Calton, Camlachie, Dalmarnock & Mile-End In The Great War 1914-18 Transcribed and researched by Bob Currie (Bridgeton Library Local History Group) Preface This list of names of The Fallen of Glasgow’s East-end records some of the millions of victims of the bloodiest wars in world history. The names, extracted from ‘The City of Glasgow Roll of Honour of The Great War’ (1922) compiled by the late Kevin O’Neil, were subsequently checked against the CWGC site for date of death, grave reference and/or memorial panel reference and next of kin. Any errors or omissions are entirely mine. I need only add that I set myself an enormous task in extracting this list of names from the 18,000 recorded on The City of Glasgow Roll of Honour (1922). In striving for accuracy I have done my best. Having been born and bred in Bridgeton I was familiar with the street names and I must say I found it a poignant exercise one way and another, having walked many of those familiar streets in the distant past. Moreover, in remembering an Uncle, likewise raised in Bridgeton, who died at St. Julian during the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915, the list became my personal tribute to the Fallen Heroes of Glasgow’s East-end. Their gallantry is commemorated in this Casualty List of names of sons, husbands’ fathers and brothers in localised clusters of death. The supreme sacrifice of the district is exemplified in the tragedy that befell the late Mr and Mrs Dunn of 527 Dalmarnock Road, Bridgeton whose three sons were killed in action. These brothers in arms namely, Private Colin M DUNN, 9th Bn. Cameronians (Scottish Rifles); Private Archie DUNN, 6th Bn. Cameron Highlanders and Lance Corporal Richard DUNN, 6th Bn. Cameron Highlanders fought died at the Battle of Loos (1915). Colin (23) and Richard (26) died 25th September. Elder brother Archie (35) died the following day. The names of these three, with no known grave, are inscribed on Loos Memorial, Pas de Calais, France. They have passed from the sight of men, but their names liveth forever.

  • Waste Water Transformed Into Heat Energy Abstract 1. Introduction
    Waste water transformed into heat energy Authors: Konstantinos Ninikas 1, Nicholas Hytiris 1, Rohinton Emmanuel 1, Bjorn Aaen 1, Paul L. Younger 2 1 Glasgow Caledonian University, UK. – 2 University of Glasgow, UK. Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of utilising ground water ingress into the Glasgow Subway system. At present this unused excess water is being discharged into the city’s drainage system as waste. This valuable resource could be channelled through a Water Source Heat Pump (WSHP) to produce heat energy for domestic or public use (heating and domestic hot water). A study has been carried out in order to calculate the heat contained in the water. Water flow and water temperature have been recorded over a ten month period (since May 2014) at fifteen different points within the network of underground tunnels. Water sampling has also been undertaken at all of these points, with chemical analysis results for six of them already obtained. The measurements will continue for at least seven more months to have readings for an 18 months period. A feasibility study to review the number of support factors (i.e. Renewable Heat Incentive) that could profit the subway system has been undertaken as well. Options have been discussed and a selection of a site inside the tunnels for a pilot system has been decided and is due to be installed in June 2015. The findings of this study are expected to develop an appropriate renewable solution through a cost effective heat pump system design. This waste water will be collected and used as renewable energy.

    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Old Mines and Mine Masters of the Monklands” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.66-86. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 OLD MINES AND MINES MASTERS OF THE MONKLANDS Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The Monklands lie east of Glasgow, across economically worthwhile coal measures, which have been worked to a great extent. Additionally to coal it proved possible to work a good local ironstone. Mushet’s blackband ironstone proved the resource on which the Monklands rose to prosperity in the 19th century. A pot pourri of minerals was there to be worked and their exploitation may be traced back to the 17th century. Estate feuding provides the first clue to the early coal working of the Monklands. In 1616, Muirhead of Brydanhill was in dispute with Newlands of Kip ps. Such was the animosity of feeling, that the latter turned up at the tiny coal working at Brydanhill and together with his men smashed up Muirhead’s pit head.1 It is likely that Muirhead’s mine had answered purely local needs and certainly if mining did continue it was on this ephemeral basis, at least until the mid 18th century. The reasons are easy to find, fragile local markets that offered no encouragement to invest in mining and a lack of communications that stopped any hope of export. In any case the western markets were then answered by the many small coal pits about the Glasgow district, including satellite workings such as Barrachnie on the western extremity of Old Monkland Parish.
