“From 1873 till the end of the First World War this public house was known as Thomas Galloway’s. This part of Maryhill Road was called New City Road at the time. Mr Galloway a renowned wine, spirit and beer merchant ran some of the best bars in the city of Glasgow”
“On the corner of North Woodside Road sits the Woodside Inn, once called J D Wilson’s, it is awash with Partick Thistle supporters at every home game.”
(Joesph Doyle, Old Glasgow Pubs)
View of the bar:
“Next on the corner of Windsor Street is the Royalty. A popular pub with football supporters especially Rangers fans. Now owned by Danny Pringle and managed by his daughter Karen, who is not slow to inform you.” (Old Glasgow Pubs, Joseph Doyle)
The Bar:
A regular at the bar:
This is a house before and after the improvements done by the Association.
And these are some of the residents (1980s) of the homes owned by the association
I found a book in the GSA library stating the plans that went into the creation of the Queens Cross Housing Association. Comparatively to the 70s, by the 80s public spending on housing in Glasgow had been cut by more than half.
The QCHA was created to provide help for citizens with inappropriate homes through improving what already existed in the Maryhill area. In the span between 1978 and 1985, the Housing Association improved over 800 houses.
