Bøker av Carol Foreman

In this hugely enlightening book, Carol Foreman investigates the origins of many of Glasgow's street names, examining the influences and inspirations for many of the city's most famous thoroughfares, from local association and sentimentality to the influence of royalty, distinguished individuals and historical events.

Traces Glasgow's history primarily through buildings which played a central part in the city's story at one time or another. Beginning with the Medieval age, the book contains four parts spanning more than eight centuries: the Medieval town; from Reformation to the Act of Union; the Merchant City, and the Victorian Age.
