  • GWL-Garnethill-Map.Pdf
    As 19th century Glasgow prospered, it expanded west. The wealthy middle-classes built detached residences on the drumlin of Garnethill, attracted by its fresh air and hilltop vistas. A century on from those sedate beginnings, Garnethill had grown into a bohemian enclave, home to theatre people, incomers, artists and activists... and some remarkable women who shaped this corner of the city. Our walk begins at the junction of Sauchiehall Street and Rose Street (1). Imagine Sauchiehall Street around the turn of the century. Glasgow was the Second City of the Empire. Upmarket department stores competed in the splendour of their displays, tearooms and even orchestras to entice female patrons, for whom shopping was no longer solely about necessity but 1 also pleasure. Copland and Lye at 165 off ered the latest Paris fashions. Palatial Pettigrew and Stephens next door was Scotland’s largest department store. Both are now demolished. Daly’s, at 199, was “the Harrods of the North” and the former McLellan Galleries housed Trerons’ Magasin des Tuileries, promising “Paris in Glasgow”. The street was also famous for furriers. An advert for Darling & James, in the Glasgow University Magazine, was designed to WOMEN’S attract the new spending power of female students, admitted since 1892. The grand stores declined with the diffi cult economic conditions of the inter-war years and Front Cover Image: Women in competition from chains like Woolworths. Profi le, GWL.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use
    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.

  • Commitment Letter
    Councillor Gordon Matheson CBE MA MCIPD FRSA LEADER OF THE COUNCIL Chair - Glasgow City Marketing Bureau Scottish Labour Party Anderston/City - Ward 10 Phone 0141 287 5480 E-mail [email protected] Our Ref: GM/NB/0129AFG 29 January 2015 Dear Colleague Glasgow City Council – Application to join the WHO Global Network of Age Friendly Cities and Communities. Glasgow City Council welcomes the opportunity to apply to join the WHO Global Network of Age Friendly Cities and Communities. Glasgow is an ambitious, inventive and entrepreneurial city with a track record of delivery and making things happen. The recent success of the 2014 Commonwealth Games is testament to that. We are Scotlands largest city and like many large urban areas, we face challenges in tackling issues of deprivation and inequality. In our Council Strategic Plan 2012 to 2017, we provide a vision for Glasgow that will deliver economic growth and resilience for all in our community. The plan sets out a wide range of priorities and commitments to ensure local services and neighbourhoods are informed by the people who live in them. The plan sets out a range of practical commitments to ensure that our older citizens can participate fully in the life of the city. This includes: a programme of free and discounted access to a range of sports and activities; a strong commitment to independent living and support for our older citizens; a range of supports for carers; a programme to help alleviate fuel poverty for some of our most vulnerable older people. We believe that being part of the WHO programme will help us to focus and accelerate our approach, building on the good practice we can already demonstrate and allowing us to raise our aspirations even higher.
