    Amazing to think Glasgows oldest house was once a sweet factory😮 St Nick’ garden looks such a beautiful space. Thankfully at least part of the tontine building was saved, it looked such a wonderful building as described in your previous episode

    Thanks for this. My granny lived in the tenement behind PL in McLeod Street back in the day. At the time I didn’t know about the history of the area. It’s now one of my favourite corners of Glasgow.

    Enjoyed this very much. I have a photo of this building and couldn’t remember its story. Was sure I would remember when I took it but so much came afterward I lost that information in my meager brain. Now I know. Thanks so much. AND Happy Holidays to you🎄🎅 Bobbi R

    Outstanding. Another great episode from the Resident Historian. I love background history on both Saint Nicholas and our favorite city Glasgow. I had to look twice to make sure it was you, I saw no bicycle. Merry Christmas.

      I like the outside. It's how it should look and it will save the building into the future.

      @AstonishingGlasgow it's a total mess is should be more uniform there's flat patches and misses all over it. It shouldn't look that bad I'm a surveyor.

    Isn't Provan Hall house in easterhouse not barlarnock?

    • @AstonishingGlasgow
      @AstonishingGlasgow  23 дні тому +1

      Not Barlanark, its Balornock that became the Provan estate which is now surrounded by Easterhouse.

      Do you want a full history book or a picture book? Is it for you as somebody with experience of the city or for somebody who has never set foot here?

      For straight up potted history of the city there are a lot to choose from on Amazon but I dont have a particular recommendation for one in particular. I would recommend Secret Glasgow for short descriptions of Glasgow places. I have a book called Once upon a time in Glasgow which contains stories from Glasgow's earliest years but a real must, and its just back in print is Glasgow, the photos of Raymond Depardon.
