Description
The Gorbals An Illustrated History by Eric Eunson is a comprehensive and visually striking account of this notorious Glasgow district. Spanning over 700 years, the book covers the period from the thirteenth century to the mid-1990s, with a focus on the area's transformation in the second half of the twentieth century. The book features two specially drawn maps by Ronald Smith, showing the Gorbals in 1858 and 1910, alongside approximately 200 photographs that capture the essence of this decaying and redeveloping area. Many of these images were commissioned by Glasgow City Council as part of their redevelopment efforts in the 1950s and 1960s, providing a unique insight into the lives of former Gorbals residents. With its rich historical context and extensive visual documentation, The Gorbals An Illustrated History is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Glasgow or the social and economic changes that have shaped the city over time.
