Old Govanhill

Eric Eunson shows this close-knit part of the city when many of its buildings were relatively new, and it was both a bustling residential neighbourhood and an industrial centre. Dixon's Blazes and the Queen's Park Locomotive Works contrast with the likes of Crosshill Boating Pond and Govanhill's American Roller Skating Rink, which was later converted to a cinema and then demolished. The book also includes two pictures of Polmadie, and extends up to the posh flats of Balmoral Crescent, facing onto Queen's Park.
