The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Area) (Scotland) Act 1997 provides the current legislative framework for the designation INTRODUCTION of conservation areas. A conservation area is defined in the Act as “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. The Victoria Park Conservation Area is located to the west of Partick, in Whiteinch, on the north bank of the River Clyde. The boundaries are All planning authorities are required by this Act to determine which parts clearly defined by Victoria Park and the Clydeside Expressway to the of their area merits conservation area status. Glasgow currently has 23 north; Dumbarton Road to the south;tenement properties and Haldane conservation areas varying in character from the city centre and Victorian Street to the east; and the Primrose Court Housing Development and a residential suburbs to a rural village and former country estate. landscaped area to the west. What Does Conservation Area Status Mean? In a Conservation Area it is both the buildings and the spaces between them that are of architectural or historic interest. Planning control is therefore directed at maintaining the integrity of the entire area and enhancing its special character. Conservation Area status does not mean that new development is unacceptable, but care must be taken to ensure that the new development will not harm the character or appearance of the area. © Crown Copyright and database right 2011.

Whiteinch appears as an island in the River Clyde on Timothy Pont’s map of 1580-1590.

Whiteinch also appears on Joan Blaeu’s The Victoria Park Conservation Area consists of straight “Atlas Novus” dating from 1654; Blaeu was a renowned map maker rows of cottages, fine examples of their type, and unique to in Amsterdam. The Atlas Novus was the first atlas of Scotland and the City of Glasgow. This small residential area is located published in 1654. The name is spelt Whytinche on Pont’s map and Whyt between Dumbarton Road and Victoria Park and dates from Inch on Blaeu’s and at this point, Whiteinch was an island covered with 1885.

Ordnance Survey Licence number 100023379 2 19th Century In 1852 the Burgh of Partick was created with Whiteinch forming its western boundary; Partick and Whiteinch were part of Govan Parish. The Oswald family continued to own Scotstoun Estate until the last decade of the 19th century when James Gordon Oswald died in 1897. It was James Gordon Oswald who initiated the development of this area for housing for estate workers in 1885. The houses are small and self contained with garden plots and were considered to be an innovation in social housing at the time and attracted visitors from all over Europe. The area became known later as Gordon Park. The simple gothic façade of the former Gordon Park Church (originally the Whiteinch United Free Church and Hall) was built by Gordon Oswald (architects McKissack and Rowan) to serve the existing industrial settlement and predates the leafy enclave of Gordon Park. Gordon Oswald being a very religious man and active in the church granted the site for the church and donated £500 for its construction. The hall was completed in 1874 and the church in 1877. c Photographs courtesy of Mitchell Library 3 2 Historical Map 1890/ 3 View from Dumbarton Road looking along Elm Street c.1910 DRS/2011/5 VICTORIA PARK The first rows of cottages date from 1885 and . were built facing Dumbarton Road. Designed by the architect Alexander Petrie, these are simple one-storey dwellings with dormers. The subsequent cottages in Victoria Park, Elm Street, Lime Street, Westland Drive and Bowling Green Road were constructed between 1888 and 1895 by George Anderson, a builder. These later ones are two storey villas in rock-faced red and white sandstone. All have gardens, back and front and are served by a network of lanes.

  • Geological Guide to the Fossil Grove, Glasgow
    A Geological Guide to the Fossil Grove, Glasgow by Iain Allison and David Webster Geological Society of Glasgow About this Guide About this Guide This new booklet on the geology of the Fossil Grove is aimed everyone with an interest in geology, however slight - but it does contain more detail for students, professionals and academics alike and for whom some further reading is suggested. A separate section on the geological framework of the Glasgow area is included, and for the beginner unfamilar with some technical terms, a short glossary is included. This guide includes several localities in the quarry area - which is always open. The Fossil House itself is open on weekend afternoons from April- October. The descriptions of the localities in the guide uses two font styles - the text in italics contains the geological descriptions and interpretations at each locality; whereas the regular font style is used for directions, history and other points of interest. This booklet replaces two booklets (now out-of-print) produced by Glasgow City Council in 1972 and 1995. A new updated Guide to the Geology of Glasgow is being produced by the Geological Society of Glasgow - and this booklet on the Fossil Grove will form an integral part of it which will replace the out-of-print ‘Geological Excursions around Glasgow and Girvan’ published by the Society in 1992. This guide has been produced by the Geological Society of Glasgow with generous support from the Fossil Grove Trust. Technical and editorial contributions from volunteers, friends and supporters are also gratefully acknowledged. Fig. A1. Three Victorian ’gentlemen scientists’ from the Geological Society of Glasgow who first described the fossil trees and recognised their importance.
