Along Great Western Road

A fascinating history of the development and growth of Glasgow's famous West End, possibly Scotland's grandest and most opulent Victorian suburb, this volume is appropriately lavish in its photography with more than 300 historic images included to illustrate the story. Along Great Western Road charts the architectural and social development of the West End from its earliest beginnings to the present day, celebrating the area's picturesque townscape, illustrious residents (both past and present) and famous institutions, not least the University of Glasgow campus itself. A must read for anyone interested in the history of this vibrant and ever changing city.
