Join us for three walking trails:… get into exploring the past, present and future of these historic Southside areas.
Queen’s Park & Mary Queen of Scots Heritage Trail ~ Sunday 21st August (2-4pm) & Sunday 11th September (2-4pm)
Queen’s Park opened as a public park in September 1862… so September 2022 marks its 160th Birthday!
Originally called the South Side Park, it was Glasgow’s third public park, a place designed to allow people to escape the ‘carbonacious vapors’ that hung over the industrial city and breathe some clean air.
Yet the area that is now a much-loved recreational space has a much longer history, going back centuries. Join Bruce Downie and Harry Sittlington of South Glasgow Heritage and Environment Trust to explore the recent and not-so-recent history of the park named after Mary, Queen of Scots.
Art Deco Laurieston – Dead or Alive?’ Sunday 18th September (2-3.30pm)
As part of Glasgow Doors Open Days festival 2022 join us to explore the Southside’s unsung Art Deco quarter.
As the ‘moderne’ style’s two-decade Centenary begins to take centre stage, find out how these buildings have contributed to the city’s past and present and how – post-pandemic and in a climate emergency as we rethink cities and the reuse of buildings – they could support Glasgow’s future…
Beacons of change from a tumultous period in Glaswegian and global history, can these last Art Deco buildings connecting the Gorbals and Tradeston act as catalysts for positive change in our modern city in flux?
From grit to glamour, and decline to rebirth, join us to unlock their secrets and superpowers.
