The queues were usually round the block as clubbers waited their turn to get into Cleopatra’s night spot, better known as Clatty Pat’s. The West End venue in Belmont Street is closed and is now the Viper pub is pictured in 1993.

Glasgow Times:

WE hear a great deal these days about the need for more housing. Well, that message was echoed at various stages throughout the 20th century, from the slum days of the 1920s and 30s, to the 1950s, when Glasgow’s housing crisis led to thousands of people moving to new towns such as East Kilbride and Cumbernauld.
There was just as big a demand in 1976 and there was a clamour for new apartments built by Glasgow District Council on the site of one of the city’s famous shipyards.
The Riverside Project saw  homes built on the former Harland and Wolff yard in Govan and in October 1976 the keys for six flats were handed over to the new owners.
The first 11 sets were reserved for council tenants from Govan whose homes were due for demolition, with the first homes being reserved for people with large families.
The site chosen for them 
was on the slipway where minesweepers were launched during the Second World War.
Those householders might have thought about the history of the area at the time, but it was more likely they would soon be turning their thoughts to paint and new wallpaper.
