Old Parkhead

Charlie MacDonald, lifelong native of Parkhead, has gathered a fantastically varied collection of pictures for this book. They range from a shot of Camlachie Jail, to a posthumous photo of Bobby the Deer (the last of his kind to roam free in Tollcross Park), after he was stuffed and put on display in the children's museum in the park. There's also the Model Lodging House, the London Road Tavern, Parkhead weans - complete with gas masks - about to be evacuated during the Second World War, the area's last row of weavers' cottages, the train station and Beardmore's works.
