A site dedicated to preserving the history of the eastern districts of Glasgow, Scotland. Updated - 1st January,
2009. If you have accessed the site before, you will notice that I've changed and simplified the design - for the first time in about three years. Hope you like it. I'm afraid I haven't had the time to develop an update and it may be soime time before I am able to. A few other notes about the new design - I'm stopping the inclusion of comments and enquiries directly onto the site for a number of reasons, although old enquiries will remain for the time being. Please see the new Comment/Enquiry section for alternative arrangements. The "Contributions" Section has gone, as it has not been used. I am also in the process of converting files to a different font - since there are hundreds of these, this will take some time. Due to pressures of work, I have also decided to update the site on a 3-monthly basis. I try to respond to e-mails as quickly as possible but it can sometimes take me a couple of weeks. If you have e-mailed me in recent months I should have responded by now. If you haven't heard anything back let me know - I would hate to have overlooked any.

If you have written information you would like to post - contact me for an address. Any photos you have of social events or of your district would be appreciated too and would be returned after scanning. Remember to refresh your pages or you may miss any updates. Check the information section at the bottom of each page; it should indicate the date of the update - if it doesn't, refresh your screen. For each month's update, have a look at "What's New". It will provide you with a summary rather than working your way through the entire site. If you wish to provide any information or even articles for inclusion, have any comments to make, or experience any difficulties in using the site, please let me know me. Otherwise, I hope you find the site informative and entertaining. With best wishes, Gordon Adams

Welcome to East
Glasgow History
I
see that Hill & Hay the printer still has copies of my Bridgeton &
Dalmarnock book which was reprinted a few years ago. I have actually
reproduced the book here on the site (see Books & Articles) but if you are
interested in obtaining a copy here is a link to their website.
I have had quite a few
enquiries about family history. Genealogy is not something I know a great
deal about, but am more than happy to include recollections or specific queries in the
"Family
History" Section. For further guidance, I have included several links
to genealogy sites in "Site Links."
The Tempus publication on
Glasgow's eastern districts I worked on last year has been
published. It is called "Glasgow East" and is in paperback,
consisting of 128 pages of about 220 captioned illustrations. The
book should be available through most large bookshops in Glasgow or by ordering
it directly from the publishers - Tempus Publishing Ltd. If you have any
difficulties in obtaining a copy, contact me. I can make one
available through Ebay so you can pay by Paypal if this is better for you. If
you are in the UK I can provide one to you at £10 post free. If you
are abroad contact me and I'll provide postal cost details.
This
month sees the completion of Tom Waugh's second
Shettleston history. See Books & Articles Section.
Tony
Jaconelli (See Books on Sale) has been in touch to let me know that the Shettleston
History Group has produced a small booklet - "Personal Memories of
Shettleston - Or a View of the Far East (of Glasgow that is)." For a
copy of this, and for details of when and where the group meet, more information
is included in the Books on Sale and Site Links sections.
