Old Maryhill book
Guthrie Hutton's first book on Maryhill offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of this Glasgow neighborhood.
Maryhill is named after Mary Hill, who donated land from her Gairbraid Estate to establish a village, stipulating that it be named in her honor. The construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal was instrumental in the area’s development, attracting industries such as boat-building, saw-milling, and ironfounding.
The book features striking images of the mills along the Kelvin and the former mansions in the area, including Bonville and Garscube House, showcasing a surprisingly rural aspect of Maryhill. In contrast, there are vibrant photographs of Maryhill Road, bustling with trams and shops. Other highlights include a vintage line-up of Partick Thistle, images of lesser-known local football teams, the Bryant and May factory, the barracks, the railway station, picturesque canalside views, and the New Star and Roxy cinemas.
56 pages with many photographs.
