Old Partickhill, Hyndland & Thornwood (Dec)

Complementary to Old Partick by the same author, this new illustrated history in the familiar Stenlake Old Towns format covers everything west of the railway line from Partick Station, south of Broomhill Cross and east of Balshagray Road, as well as the better understood districts named in the title. The book features numerous quiet street scenes from the days of the horse and cart and the electric tram. Also included are Hyndland Station, a nice old motor bus climbing Clarence Drive and a view of a tram descending it, Hyndland School, bowling greens, the former Crow Road Station, the making of the Expressway, Meadowside Granary, Merkland Quay and much more. The photos are all accompanied by detailed, informative captions.
