Stenlake Publishing - Glasgow's East End in the 70s
Glasgows East End in the 70s from Gallowgate and London Road to Parkhead and Camlachie
Author : Peter Mortimer and Duncan McCallum ISBN : 9781840336832 Cover : paperback Price : £19.95
This is a collaboration between Glaswegian Peter Mortimer who has written the text and photographer Duncan McCallum who took these wonderful but grim photos of a grimy, resigned and depressing 1970s Glasgow. As the subtitle suggests the book goes out east along London Road, Gallowgate and Duke Street as far as Parkhead and Camlachie showing much in-between these points. These areas have seen much subsequent change since and the book is largely a wallow in nostalgia about a Glasgow most of us are happier is in the past.
