  • Merchant City Walking Trail
    GLASGOW’S MERCHANT CITY GLASGOW’S MERCHANT CITY Web: www.glasgowmerchantcity.net Merchant City Trail All efforts have been made in the accuracy of the information in this leaflet. The funders of this leaflet are not responsible for any inaccuracies that may occur. The Merchant City... ...open for trade The Merchant City lies at the heart of Glasgow’s City Centre, where historically the tobacco lairds and traders which once made Glasgow the Second City of the Empire came to do business, socialise and build their townhouses ... and later their warehouses. The area still possesses a remarkable consistency, of materials and rhythm and demonstrates a strong civic pride through the number of buildings adorned with carved coats of arms. Despite the area falling victim to the inner city obsolescence that afflicted so many parts of urban Britain in the Twentieth Century, the Merchant City became the scene of a remarkable public sector led renaissance during the 1980’s and was held up internationally as a successful example of how post industrial architecture can re-make itself if events and political wills conspire - to create new solutions and dynamic partnerships. More recently a large part of the area has been designated the focus of an inter agency programme to repair the fabric of its historic architecture and streets. The Merchant City Townscape Heritage Initiative matches funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund with finance from both Glasgow City Council and Scottish Enterprise Glasgow to enable a phased programme of improvements to buildings

    Scottish Tradition Vol. 27 2002 WORKING CLASS CULTURE, FAMILY LIFE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CLYDESIDE, C 1918-1939: A VIEW FROM BELOW. ‘People have no idea how the poor lived in those days. They seemed to be at loggerheads all the time.’ 1 he inter-war years were distinguished by marked changes that affected the lives and neighbourhoods of Tmany working class men and women. These changes would prove to have positive and negative implications for working-class family life. New employment opportunities extended the breadth of jobs open to working class people, espe- cially in the new consumer industries that employed significant numbers of women. Correspondingly, the commercialisation of leisure expanded the possibilities of pleasure. Information on birth control and the greater ease of availability of contraceptives also offered a better potential to postpone marriage and reduce family size. Yet, the new employment opportunities did little to alter the ‘pin money’ wages of women and women’s economic dependency on marriage. Marriage was still seen as an attractive alternative to employment in the longer term.2 Marriage and motherhood were actively promoted as the natural and fulfilling aspirations for women by the state, state agencies, the clergy, religious organisations and the media. Adding to the appeal was the ideal of the ‘companionate marriage’ in which husbands were expected to share chores, child-care, leisure and provide love and companionship. It seems that this was a ‘fairly norma- tive’ aspiration amongst many sectors of the working class between the wars, at least amongst women. Change, however, was not just ideological.3 After World War I, the building of ‘homes fit for heroes’ and the growth of ‘new garden cities’, were linked with ideals of the companionate marriage, maternalism, privacy, respectable domesticity and the growth of male home- centred pastimes.

PRINTED BY ALEXANDER GARDNER, PAISLEY. THr LflJRARY PREFACE. Few words are required to introduce this little work to the public of Glasgow. Suffice it to say that on several occasions during the past four years I was invited and did deliver lectures on "Old Gorbals"" to a number of public bodies, among others being the Gorbals Ward Committee, the Old Glasgow Club, and Educational Guilds in connection with the Kinningpark Co-operative Society. The princi- pal matter contained in these lectures I have arranged, edited, and now issue in book form. While engaged collecting materials for the lectures, I discovered that a number of errors had crept into previous publications relating to Old Gorbals. For example, some writers seemed to have entertained the idea that there was only one George Elphinston rented or possessed the lands of Gorbals, whereas there were three of the name, all in direct succession. M'Ure and other historians, failing to distinguish the difference between a Barony and a Burgh of Barony, state that Gorbals was erected into a Burgh of Barony in 1595.
