Springburn: The Rome of the North
|
Former Springburn MP Paul Sweeney will discuss the remarkable industrial development of Springburn as a world-centre of steam locomotive manufacturing and present a series of films that will poignantly chart its rise and fall. Often overshadowed by the city's shipbuilding industry, Glasgow's railway engineering powerhouse of Springburn once led the world too. The talk will also discuss efforts to restore Springburn’s Winter Gardens, built at the height of Springburn’s industrial success in 1900, but sadly derelict since 1983.
