Bridgeton and Calton formed the heart of Glasgow's old East End until half the area was swept away in the 1950s 60s and 70s. Eric Eunson chronicles the rise and fall of these two neighbourhoods covering their early history along with the story of Glasgow Green and its various uses and entertainments the much-travelled McLennan Arch and the origins of the name Shipka Pass. Shops merchants and pubs - including of course the famous Sarry Heid (Saracen Head) - are featured along with views of the Gallowgate London Street Abercromby Street London Road Bellgrove Street and more not forgetting Bridgeton Cross and the 'umbrella'. The book finishes up with pictures of Dalmarnock Road and its surroundings.

Bygone Leven (Fife Heritage Series)

<p>A must-have for anyone with any interest in the Gorbals, this is one of our best-selling titles and deservedly so. It includes two specially drawn maps by Ronald Smith showing the Gorbals in 1858 and 1910, plus about 200 photographs of this notorious and decimated area. The text covers the period from the thirteenth century to the mid-1990s, but while there are a few photographs and illustrations dating from before the Second World War (plus a dozen or so showing the rise and fall - literally! - of the 1970s developments), the vast majority of the pictures date from the 1950s and 1960s. They were commissioned by Glasgow City Council in connection with the redevelopment of the area and cover the Gorbals along with Tradeston, Kingston, Laurieston, Hutchesontown and Oatlands. Many of the streets, shops, factories and buildings depicted will be well-rememberd by former Gorbals residents.</p>
