TALKS PROGRAMME: Victorian Style Leisure and Pleasure

What organised sports were around in Victorian west end? Ann Laird offers a historical overview of a wide range of activities available around Woodlands, Park, Hillhead, Partick, Dowanhill, Hyndland and Kelvinside. From the Arlington baths and swimming pond, to nearby Burnbank Grounds and beyond, there was cricket, bowls, curling, football and tennis, not to mention lots of public green space in the wonderful “West End Park”, now Kelvingrove Park, plus the many beautiful private pleasure gardens.
