EDITORS COMMENTS
Quins Bar, a beloved establishment on Springburn Road in Glasgow, is captured in this poignant photo print. With its imminent closure just days away, the atmosphere within Quins is filled with bittersweet nostalgia. The song 'The Wee Room Underneath the Stairs' tells a tale of secrecy and camaraderie amongst kirk elders who sought solace in this hidden room for a dram, careful not to be spotted by their parishioners. Having served as a social hub for nearly a century, Quins Bar's fate was sealed by a compulsory purchase order from the Corporation. Alongside the pub's closure, we bid farewell to Willie Kennedy, the dedicated barman who has tirelessly served patrons for 37 years. Transporting us back to November 1973, this snapshot encapsulates an era when pubs like Quins were more than mere drinking establishments; they were vibrant centers of entertainment and community bonding. Men gather around pints of ale, engaging in lively conversations that spanned topics from work to politics. As we reflect upon this image from the 1970s, it serves as a reminder of how our social landscape evolves over time. Quins Bar will forever hold cherished memories within the hearts of those who frequented its doors.
