Glasgow

Few cities lend themselves so well to a pictorial history as Glasgow. Despite the ravages of economic forces, war, planners and time itself, the face of Glasgow still displays much that relates to its long and vigorous history. The city's built heritage from Victorian times is second to none in Britain, created with the vast wealth produced by commerce, manufacturing and heavy industry which made Glasgow the Second City of the Empire and shipbuilder to the world. Featured in the pages of this book are not only the industrial and architectural heritage of the city, but also the character of the hardworking and enterprising people which continues to inspire great affection to this day. Glasgow in Old Photographs is a must for anyone who knows and loves this great city.
