A site dedicated to preserving the history of the eastern districts of Glasgow, Scotland. Updated - July, 2008.
The Tempus publication on Glasgow's eastern districts I worked on last year has now been published. It is called "Glasgow East" and is in paperback, consisting of 128 pages of captioned illustrations.
I'm often contacted about family histories, and up until now I have felt unable to include them in the site. However, I have now created a new section for basic information - Family History. See this section for guidance. I have experienced some difficulties with my e-mail and have lost track of some enquiries made. If you do not see your enquiry on the "Can I Help?" section by now, please re-send these and I shall update the site with them within a few days of receipt where at all possible. 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 in the Contributions or elsewhere, have any comments to make, or experience any difficulties, please contact me. Otherwise, I hope you find the site informative and entertaining. With best wishes, Gordon Adams

Welcome to East
Glasgow History
This
month sees only the addition of
a further chapter to Thomas Waugh's second Shettleston book - "Shettleston Past
and Present" in the "Books & Articles"
section. I've included Section III on
School Groups. I'm afraid I've been a bit too busy recently to include
more.
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 am making one routinely
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.
