Corner Bar

Corner Bar. 1991.

This was one of the last pubs to be demolished in old Gorbals. Situated at the corner of Crown Street and Caledonia Road. This old pub was established in 1875 by landlord William Bryson. Mr Bryson lived then at 389 Cally Road before moving to better accommodation at Victoria Cross, Govanhill then to Mount Florida.

Many will still remember this old pub when it was called the Waverley, owned by John Boyle. Also known as Dixon Blazes.
