Old Photograph Maxwell Park Glasgow Scotland
Old photograph of Maxwell Park in Pollokshields, Glasgow, Scotland. The Pollokshields Burgh Hall stands at the edge of Maxwell Park. Designed by Henry Edward Clifford and constructed in 17th century Scottish Baronial style, it was opened in 1890 by Sir John Stirling Maxwell as a Masonic Meeting Place and for the use of the community but served the independent burgh of Pollokshields only until 1891. The Hamilton Memorial Fountain in Maxwell Park was constructed by the Doulton Company in the famous Italian white marble from Carrara in Tuscany. It is a memorial to John Hamilton, who hunted in the area when the land was a marsh. The fountain was demolished in 1989.
