In this informative and beautifully illustrated book, Carol Foreman
traces Glasgow's history through buildings which have been demolished,
but which once played a central part in the life of the city. Beginning
with the medieval age, she goes on to look at a massive selection of
buildings right through to the 1930s.
The result is a fascinating picture of how the city evolved and how
major events over the centuries affected its trade, people and
environment. Churches, banks, hospitals, theatres, cinemas as well as
domestic buildings all feature in this illuminating journey through
Glasgow's rich architectural past.
