Description
Discover the rich history and heritage of Central Glasgow, from its humble beginnings as a small rural settlement to its current status as a vibrant and stylish city.
Glasgow's transformation over the centuries is a story of growth and prosperity, driven by its emergence as a major transatlantic trade hub and one of the world's largest seaports. The Industrial Revolution cemented its reputation as a world leader in shipbuilding and marine industries, earning it the nickname 'Second City of the British Empire'.
This book explores the heart of Glasgow through a unique blend of old and new images, celebrating the city's fascinating history and heritage. With the Commonwealth Games set to bring international attention to the city once again in 2014, Central Glasgow Through Time is a timely and engaging look at this remarkable urban landscape.
