painting of “Bridgeton Cross, Glasgow, 1954” and is William's rendering of
“Saturday Night” by Don Breckon. This is an atmospheric and
nostalgic painting of Bridgeton Cross in 1954. The number 26 tramcar,
en route to Burnside, passes the Umbrella as pedestrians and other
traffic deal with rainy conditions. “Young at Heart”, starring Frank
Sinatra and Doris Day is showing at the Olympia ABC picture house in the
background.

scene using acrylic on canvas board measuring 50cm X 41cm (20” x 16”)

Old Photograph
Painting Dalmarnock Bridge
I painted this scene from a black and
white photograph published on the GlescaPals website. The view, in the
east end of Glasgow, looks north along Dalmarnock Road from the
Rutherglen side of the bridge. It is a vibrant and nostalgic scene of
the number 26 tramcar crossing Dalmarnock Bridge, Glasgow, in 1960, en
route to Burnside via Scotstoun. The tramcar is followed by a lorry and
a Glasgow Corporation motor bus. In the background is the electric
power station which has now been demolished as part of the redevelopment
of the Dalmarnock area. The red sandstone tenements, located behind the
bus, survived bombing of the electric power station during World War II
(1939–45) and are still standing today. The Boundary Bar public house
was located at the corner of the other tenement building forming the
junction with Birkwood Street and Dalmarnock Road. Painted using
acrylic on canvas board measuring 500 x 400 mm (20” x 16”), the painting
is protected by a minimum of two coats of satin varnish and was signed
and dated by the artist, William M. Neilly, in December 2006.
Parkhead Cross, Glasgow,
circa 1960
This
is an atmospheric and nostalgic painting of Parkhead Cross, Glasgow,
circa 1960, after “Parkhead Cross” by John M Boyd. It is painted using
acrylic on canvas board measuring 508 x 406 mm (20” x 16”). The
painting is protected by two coats of gloss varnish and was signed and
dated by the artist, William M. Neilly, in April 2007.
Looking west along the Gallowgate, Springfield Road is to the left and
immediately in front of the Morris Minor estate car in the foreground.
Duke Street is to the right from which a number 1 tramcar emerges en
route to Dalmarnock from Scotstoun West, via Springfield Road.
The number 30 tramcar from Dalmarnock
is about to turn into Duke Street en route to Blairdardie in the north
west of the city. The pedal cyclist is turning into Westmuir Street
and the red sports car is heading along Tollcross Road. Two coronation
tramcars are coming along the Gallowgate towards the Cross from the City
Centre. Pedestrians are crossing the wet road safely in the knowledge
that the tramcar behind them is about to make a sharp left turn into
Duke Street. The couple in the foreground seem dressed for a night at
the Granada picture house, located in Duke Street, a few metres on the
right behind the number 1 tramcar.

Painting
“Bridgeton Cross, Glasgow, 1960”
is an original painting based on the black and white photograph of
TrolleyBriX from GlesgaPals
photo above. I painted this scene using acrylic on canvas
board measuring 400mm x 300mm (approx. 16” x 12”), in December 2006. It
is a vibrant and nostalgic scene of Glasgow Corporation transport filing
past Bridgeton Central railway station, located in London Road. The
number 106 trolley bus, en route to Govan, is turning into Bridgeton
Cross. It is followed by the number 46 motor bus en route to Castlemilk.
The number 18 Coronation tramcar is directly in front of Bridgeton
Central railway station.
