The County.
Springboig Ave,Springboig, Glasgow.
The County. 1991.
The County was opened in the summer of 1957. Licensee John Cameron had a bit of trouble trying to get this licence in 1955 as it was 100 yards outside the boundary of Glasgow then, the police didn't like the idea either as they thought it would attract to many people from the city and Shettleston area into the county of Springboig, and the pub would be built in the heart of a housing scheme,however the licence was granted.
At a cost of £35,000 the County was the most up-to date hostelry in the area directors of the County Roadhouse Ltd were John Cameron, Mr R Davy of R D Stewart Ltd; builders and contractors, Shettleston and J Lonergan also associated with the venture was John Y Robertson, B.L. solicitor, Hamilton, who presented the case for the granting of the licence.
The County was demolished a few years ago.
