Old Photograph Harbour Charlestown Fife Scotland

In 1887, on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, the Queen's Hall was built at the village centre, to designs by Robert Rowand Anderson. Shipbuilding was carried on at Charlestown in the 19th century, as well as ship breaking. Some of the Warships of the German Imperial Fleet were brought here from Scapa Flow after World War I to be broken up.

Old Photograph Apsley Street Partick Scotland

Old photograph of shops, buildings, and people on Apsley Street in Partick, Glasgow, Scotland. Partick is located on the north bank of the River Clyde, just across from Govan. To the west lies Whiteinch and to the east, Hillhead and other areas which make up the west end of Glasgow. Partick was a Police burgh from 1852 until 1912 when it was incorporated into the city. Although Partick remained a village until the middle of the 18th century, it is an ancient place. The Kings of Strathclyde had a residence there, and in 1136 David I, born 1124, died 1153, granted the lands of Perdyc to the see of Glasgow. The Bishops of Glasgow had a country seat in Partick. It was later the site of Partick Castle, a country home of George Hutcheson which was demolished in 1836.
