Old Photograph Thornwood Avenue Partick Scotland
Old photograph of houses on Thornwood Avenue in Partick, Glasgow, Scotland. Partick is located on the north bank of the River Clyde, just across from Govan. Partick is the area of the city most connected with the Highlands, and several Gaelic agencies, such as the Gaelic Books Council are based in the area. Some ATMs in the area display Gaelic. It is historically divided into three social areas; south of Dumbarton Road, north of Dumbarton Road and the Partick Hill grand villas. Being within the sphere of influence of the University of Glasgow and neighbouring Glasgow's salubrious " West End " it has a high student population. Traditional industries for the area were shipbuilding and the huge Meadowside Granary, demolished to make way for the new Glasgow Harbour residential development, employed many residents also.
