Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin MacFarlane was born in the Gorbals in the 1950s, 20 years after the publication of No Mean City, the classic novel about pre-war life in what was once Glasgow's most deprived district. He lived in the same street as its fictional 'razor king', Johnnie Stark, and subsequently realised that a lot of the old characters represented in the book were still around as late as the 1960s. Men still wore bunnets and played pitch and toss; women still treated the steamie as their social club. The razor gangs were running amok once again, and filth, violence, crime, rats, poverty and drunkenness abounded, just like they did in No Mean City. MacFarlane witnessed the last days of the old Gorbals as a major regeneration programme, begun in 1961, was implemented, and, as a street boy, he had a unique insight into a once great community in rapid decline. In this engrossing book, MacFarlane reveals what it was really like to live in the old Gorbals.
Book Synopsis Dancing in the Streets by : Clifford Hanley
Download or read book Dancing in the Streets written by Clifford Hanley and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2024-10-03 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic Glasgow Memoir with a new introduction by Tom Morton This is Clifford Hanley's vibrant, unsentimental and hilarious account of growing up in the 1920s and '30s, and his later working life as a radio broadcaster and journalist. His razor-sharp observations and anecdotes cover many topics, from family life, art and showbiz to politics, sex, TB and what it was like to be a conscientious objector during the Second World War. But even the most bittersweet stories are leavened with humour, and the irrepressible Glasgow spirit always shines through. 'Hanley writes with consistent relish for his native city . . . captures Glasgow and its people nonchalantly and unfussily' – Ian Jack, The Guardian 'Like a portal into a vanished Glasgow, but one where the city, its people – their foibles, hopes, humour and warmth – are instantly familiar' – Norry Wilson, Lost Glasgow

Download or read book The Gorbals written by Eric Eunson and published by Stenlake Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must-have for anyone with any interest in the Gorbals, this is one of our best-selling titles and deservedly so. It includes two specially drawn maps by Ronald Smith showing the Gorbals in 1858 and 1910, plus about 200 photographs of this notorious and decimated area. The text covers the period from the thirteenth century to the mid-1990s, but while there are a few photographs and illustrations dating from before the Second World War (plus a dozen or so showing the rise and fall - literally! - of the 1970s developments), the vast majority of the pictures date from the 1950s and 1960s. They were commissioned by Glasgow City Council in connection with the redevelopment of the area and cover the Gorbals along with Tradeston, Kingston, Laurieston, Hutchesontown and Oatlands. Many of the streets, shops, factories and buildings depicted will be well-rememberd by former Gorbals residents.

It is such a powerfully written story . . . I love a heartbreak book but there is so much love within this one, particularly between Shuggie and his mother Agnes.' – Dua Lipa It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life, dreaming of greater things. But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and as she descends deeper into drink, her children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. Shuggie is different, he is clearly no’ right.

Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. For readers of A Little Life and Angela's Ashes, it is a heartbreaking novel by a brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell. 'A heartbreaking novel' – The Times 'Tender and unsentimental . . . The Billy Elliot-ish character of Shuggie . . . leaps off the page.' – Daily Mail
