This is a comprehensive photographic journey through the rich and vibrant history of Glasgow. It is fully-illustrated throughout with almost 400 photographs. Glasgow is a city that has seen great change. Once the second city of the Empire, it was in 1999 chosen as the UK City of Architecture and Design. Beneath the veil of industrial grime, it would seem, was a place of incredible beauty. In this stunning guide to the city, re-released in paperback due to popular demand, authors Robert Jeffrey and Ian Johnson illustrate the history of this transformation. This is a nostalgic look at Glasgow as it used to be, the Dear Green Place that still sits so fondly in the hearts of so many.
