Someone just calling himself "Jack" has uploaded a fascinating series of well over a thousand black and white photos of Edinburgh in the 1960s. What it shows is how much of its character the city has lost since then, and also just how many slums it had. On the other hand a lot of it, in spite of the clearances and changes, is still recognisable.It can be seen at:

Well...

1.622 pics at one sitting

Certainly an interesting collection, and they may almost all be black & white, but I think I could up the date range to be from the 1960s all the way up to the 1980s, so it is quite a collection.

Interestingly, I was pointed at the colour pic in there a few days ago, of one Mrs Doubtfire and her cat!

Seriously, you will find it if you go through them all - but I had no idea it came from the larger collection to be found on Flickr.

Regarding change...

Glasgow has changed just as much, and I bet a similar dip into any other town or city would show the same.

A few years ago (let's say 10+ for ease of consideration) I started to have a wander around Glasgow city, in particular what I would describe as 'the edges'.

I had in mind a small collection of pics possibly preserving remains of the past, as ruins, wrecks, or derelicts. Or, alternatively, as survivors from the past into... 'modern' time.

I gave up after a few weekends - there wasn't really enough original material to make it interesting. Certainly, there was a few finds to be had, interesting survivors with some original detail, but most places had been razed or modernised, and neither of those options really provided much of interest to look at.

The plans to modernise the city were largely carried out, it would seem.

There might be a case for a retry, on a different theme, but even that looked pretty lifeless when I had a play with it a year or so ago.

There is still a degree of survival if one looks above the ground floor of some city area building, with some of the old painted signs and business descriptions remaining, but these have largely being painted over to be 'tidy', or neglected (since most, if not all, of the business they refer to have vanished), so they are faded and lost.

Maybe if I had had this idea 25+ years ago, it just might have worked.

Now, all one could really do is use one of Jack House's books - he had a small series which showed 'Then & Now' with the 'now' part being the 1980s - as a reference, and maybe try and repeat the exercise.

With the few places that are still standing.

Anyway...

The Edinburgh pics are not only of the city, but some villages and areas around it, so have interest for those that might not be keen on the city itself.

Your mention of Mrs Doubtfire and her cat is interesting. I had an aunt in Edinburgh with whom I used to go and stay a lot. She lived in a top floor flat in a tenement building in the New Town. Madame Doubtfire had a second hand clothes shop in the basement of that same building. (The name above the door was Madame, not Mrs.) I always wondered if there was any connection with her and the film of that name. Did the producer or one of his team once visit Edinburgh, see the rather strange name on the shop and think "that would be a good name for a film?" The fact that both the shop and film were "Madame Doubtfire rather than "Mrs" stretches coincidence a bit too much.
But, as you say, it would be great if someone could produce a similar archive of Glasgow. I'm sure there must be at least one hidden away somewhere.

Afraid there was no story with the pointer I got to the pic of Mrs Doubtfire and here cat (and I was not stopping to read any of the comments that had been added to the Flickr images), so I'm afraid I cannot add anything.

But as the name was on the pic in Flickr, using its search should pull it up quickly, so long as the search is also restricted to that photoset.

All is revealed. The film is "Mrs. Doubtfire", it is the book which is "Madame Doubtfire." And it's author, Anne Fine, lived in Edinburgh for a while in the 70s so probably saw the name on the sop and decided to use it for her character. "Doubtfire" was not her real name, which was Annabella Coutts. And looking on Streetview shows that her former shop is now (or was when the Google camera car passed) a Thai restaurant.
