Old Travel Blog Photograph Tram Cherrybank Perth Perthshire Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of a Tram and people in Cherrybank, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1834, John Moncrieff was born to Agnes and Thomas Moncrieff, at Cherrybank, Perth. He attended the village school until he was 13 years old, when he got his first job at the Perth Ink Works in 1847, owned by John Todd & Co. He continued his education at night school. In 1855, at the age of 21, he was appointed manager of Todd’s glassworks, where he remained until John Todd’s death in 1865. Following the death of John Todd, he decided to set up his own glassworks, initially naming it the North British Glass and Ink Works, which he opened in 1868 at 189 South Street, Perth. The company remained at South Street until 1881 when a new facility was set up on two acres of land at St. Catherine’s Road.
