From winter gardens to locomotive works, this tour will explore the architectural and industrial legacy of a lost Springburn, that saw over 85% of its buildings demolished during the city's final 'Comprehensive Development' project in the 1970s and 1980s. From Springburn Park, the highest point in Glasgow and last Victorian park to be laid out in Glasgow, the tour will explore the role of the steam locomotive industry in rapidly building a world-leading industrial metropolis from a rural backwater at the start of the 19th century. Only the fragments of a once dense district of tenements, villas, pubs, schools, churches, railway workshops, co-operative society shops and public halls survive intact from the end of the 1960s, but those that do survive remain some of the finest municipal and industrial buildings in the city.
