STREETS OF GLASGOW

Alan Millar pays tribute to his home city in this wonderful collection of streetscapes showing Glasgow City transport scenes from the end of World War 2 up until the early 1970s. Glorious pictures of multicoloured trams - Glasgow used route colours right through until the 1950s - trolleybuses and an increasingly dominant fleet of buses that ultimately came to be the sole provider of public transport on the highway adorn the pages. The streetscape illustrations also reveal a fascinating snapshot of society over these years, showing changing fashions, shop fascia boards, cars and much else. For all those who knew Glasgow in the period and those who enjoy trams, trolleybuses and buses this is a nostalgic and revealing portrait.
