Bygone Maryhill

Mehr zum Buch

This is Guthrie Hutton's second book on Maryhill and illustrates the well-loved neighbourhood (including Queen's Cross and extending south as far as St George's Cross) with a new selection of period photographs and completely new captions. As well as Victorian and Edwardian views, there are several evocative pictures taken by Maryhill local Jim Leggett between the 1950s and 1970s. With the barracks, the Forth & Clyde Canal, an extensive railway network and a variety of industries jostling for space alongside streets of tenements, Maryhill has a varied and interesting history, many aspects of which are touched on here.
