Geocache Description:


London Road Primary School

For all supporters who used to come to Celtic Park, one of the most notable landmarks on their first visit was the old school that was at the foot of Kerrydale Street which all supporters passed on their way to the front end of Celtic Park. 

This school & adjacent janitor's house lay at the junction as you turned into the road to head to the main entrance of Celtic Park. A curious location for a school being at the foot of a major football stadium, but what a great experience for all those school-children. The old school was a typical old red brick building in a very old traditional style, a little imposing too. 

A story from past pupils from the London Road School revealed that Celtic great Bertie Peacock used to train and take the kids on a Saturday morning; a lot of the older locals around Parkhead still talk about the days when "The Little Ant" was in charge of their school football team. Likely various other players did so too.

On match days the playgrounds were used for car parking, and the front gates and areas around the grounds were prime spots for street-traders of Celtic wares and for Burger Vans too.
