Once a small weaving village, Partick grew with the local shipbuilding industry and became an independent burgh in 1852, before reluctantly being annexed by Glasgow in 1912. It is now one of the best preserved and most attractive tenement suburbs of the city. Bill Spalding's book contains a rare picture of some of the old two-storey houses that were demolished as Victorian redevelopment took place. Elsewhere there's a good cross-section of street scenes and life on the river, including Barclay Curle's Clydeholm shipyard, the ferries that plied between Partick and Govan, and Cluthas (small passenger boats) operating between Stockwell Bridge and Whiteinch. The book includes Kelvingrove Park, and touches upon Dowanhill, Thornwood, Broomhill and Whiteinch.
