Description

Bygone Govan A collection of photographs and personal recollections from George Rountree's childhood in 1930s and 40s Govan. Captions provide historical context, while Rountree shares his own memories of the area's cinemas, football teams, schools, hospitals, and more. The book features a range of images, including aerial views of the dry docks, Harland & Wolff's battery-powered locomotive, and the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society's works at Shieldhall. You'll also see pictures of Govan High School on fire, as well as streets, shops, trams, and buses that served the area. With its unique blend of history and personal perspective, Bygone Govan offers a fascinating glimpse into life in 1930s and 40s Govan.
