Old Photograph Whitehill Street Dennistoun Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of shops, houses and people on Whitehill Street in Dennnistoun, Glasgow, Scotland. Unable to attract the middle class residents intended by its original developers, it established itself as a respectable working class area for families. After the Second World War, the area's Victorian tenements were refurbished and extended rather than replaced with high-rise modernist blocks as in other working class districts such as neighbouring Calton and Parkhead, and this, coupled with proximity to the city centre and Caledonian and Strathclyde universities, has contributed to its gentrification in recent years; many of its residents are now students and young professionals.
