Heritage Trail Guide

WELCOME

Welcome to the ’ Heritage Trail, I hope that you will enjoy following the markers and will find this guide to be a useful companion as you travel around the sites.

Since 2010, I have been leading a small group who have worked hard to ensure that our unique fire history is never forgotten; this has been achieved by working closely with veterans, communities and other partners to ensure that the details behind each of the firefighters’ sacrifices was fully researched and accurately recorded.

Glasgow has a distinguished and dramatic history. Over the years, as a major port and industrial and commercial centre, the City has seen devastating and tragic fires.

Some of those fires claimed the lives of firefighters who had fought gallantly to contain the destruction. To honour ’s fallen firefighters, The Firefighters’ Heritage Trail has been created to tell the stories of some of the people and places that have played an important part in the history of firefighting in Glasgow.

12 memorial plaques have been set into the pavement to mark the sites where firefighters lost their lives. In addition, we have identified several further sites of special interest relating to the history of the fire service in Glasgow.

More information on the ‘extended’ trail can be found by visiting The Firefighters’ Heritage Trail website at www.fireheritagetrail.org.

Assistant Chief Officer Lewis Ramsay Chair, The Firefighters’ Heritage Committee 1 Queens Court SATURDAY 14TH JANUARY 1832 A disastrous and destructive fire took place here in the 24 properties comprising Queens Court. During the extensive operations Fireman James Bruce of the Glasgow Fire Brigade was killed whilst firefighting.

Fireman James Bruce died when he fell from the head of a ladder at what was described as “one of the most destructive fires that has occurred in Glasgow for a very long period of time.”

The owner of the affected property offered the firefighters £5 (a large sum at the time) if they would retrieve his safe from the ruins. This was done, but the men agreed that the widow of Fireman Bruce be given the reward money. Memorial plaque on Queen Street GEOR GE ST

The main Glasgow Fire Brigade station at this time was on Bell Street in the city’s Candleriggs area, where there were three candleworks.

Like all firemen in Glasgow at that time, Fireman Bruce would have been a volunteer, who turned out when required, from home.

He wasn’t attached to Bell Street as such, but was on ‘Glasgow Firemen’ by W. McGurk the list of firemen who were summoned by the sound of a drum.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION www.fireheritagetrail.org 2 Royal Exchange Square FRIDAY 5TH DECEMBER 1856 A disastrous and destructive fire took place at numerous properties at the above location. Fireman John Harrison of the Glasgow Fire Brigade died as a result of injuries received whilst firefighting.

Fireman Harrison served at the Central Station, College Street which had opened five years previously in 1851.

In 1856, the city of Glasgow was expanding with various trades and the steady influx of people from the Highlands and Ireland.

At that time, it was quite an involved procedure for firefighters to attend a fire.

To sound the alarm, a team of drummers had specific routes to travel to which included the houses of where the firefighters lived. The houses had a sign indicating a fireman lived there. Glasgow Drummer GEOR GE ST

Fire pumps were then taken from various sites and hand pushed to the fire.

Volunteers from the public were collected to assist pumping the levers, receiving a brass token to redeem the following day. Firemaster James Bryson, 1855

Standard refreshment for all walks of life at that time was beer or small beer (watered beer) issued at fires to slake the thirst. The chant would invariably be heard “more beer, more beer!”, as the fire progressed and their pumping efforts were further required!

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION www.fireheritagetrail.org 3 Renfield Street FRIDAY 7TH JANUARY 1898 A disastrous fire and explosion occurred at the premises of W. & R. Hatrick’s Chemical Works, where four firemen of the Glasgow Fire Brigade were killed.

Fireman James Hastie & Fireman John Battersby resided at the Central Fire Station, College Street. Fireman David Smith and Fireman Charles Orr resided at the North Fire Station on St. George’s Road.

The bodies of the firemen were removed from the scene of the fire and delivered back to their homes, which was the practice at the time.

The Brigade was held in high regard by the public (as they protected factories and therefore jobs) hence the popular toast of the time “Success to the Glasgow Fire Brigade”. Wallace with the firemen of College St

As Glasgow advanced into the 20th Century, new technology was creating more employment.

However, new forms of entertainment presented problems for Glasgow’s firemen as celluloid films used at this time were highly flammable, Memorial plaque at Yorkhill and combined with the heat from the cinema projectors, could burst into flame at any time.

The worst example of this was the Glen Cinema Disaster - a fire in a cinema in Paisley on 31st December 1929 which killed 71 children and injured 40.

The people of Glasgow were shocked by this, the second major fire service tragedy in 12 years. As had happened following the Cheapside Street Disaster in 1960, a huge crowd lined the streets as hearses bore the bodies of the Kilbirnie Street victims to Glasgow Cathedral for the funeral service. The bodies of six of the seven firemen were then taken to the Necropolis where they were interred in the vault under the Cheapside Street memorial.

This tragedy for the Glasgow Fire Service came less than three months after the loss of seven firefighters in August at Kilbirnie Street.

Crews were called to a fire in a disused wallpaper shop in Maryhill Road. As the firemen worked hard to save flats above the shop, the fire found a way through to a row of tenements in Great Western Road via a single storey connection. Due to a building defect of about 100 years before, there was no fire wall. Maryhill Road, 1972 Maryhill Road, D L R HIL GRO E VEPAR HOP K ST
