Bygone Partick
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

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.
