Old Photograph King Street Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of King Street, Glasgow, Scotland. Civic control of Glasgow's eighteenth-century street formation meant that the irregular contours of the medieval town gradually gave way to more planned and prestigious development. A striking early example was King Street, created during the 1720s to serve as a market centre for the city. Meat, fish and dairy produce were the main commodities on offer, together with fruit and vegetables in nearby Candleriggs.
