Old Photographs Nitshill Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of a pub and houses in Nitshill, Glasgow, Scotland. Nitshill is a district on the south side of Glasgow. It is South of Crookston, and South West of Silverburn and Pollok. Nitshill was originally a coal mining village. The Nitshill Colliery was the scene of one of Scotland's worst mining disasters, on 15 March 1851 in which 61 men and boys died. The village grew to accommodate people relocated during the Glasgow slum clearances in the 1950s and 1960s.
