Old Photograph Children Gorbals Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of children in the Gorbals, Glasgow, Scotland. The Gorbals is an area on the south bank of the River Clyde in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. By the late 19th century it had become over populated and adversely affected by local industrialisation. Many people lived here because their jobs provided their homes and they could not afford their own. It became widely known as a dangerous slum associated with the problems of drunkenness and crime.
