Cancelled! Hidden Gems of Garnethill Heritage Walk
20th April, 2014, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
£7.50
Please note that we have unfortunately had to cancel this event. You can still book on to our Women of the Merchant City walk and Women of the Necropolis walk both taking place in May. The Garnethill walk is due to take place again in the summer so why not join the library to be kept up to date with new events and activities.
Garnethill is at the heart of Glasgow’s city centre but remains an unknown quarter for many. This walk takes in its grand tenements, painted gables, miniature park, synagogue and world acclaimed architectural triumphs. These and other fascinating landmarks help us to tell the stories of some of the most remarkable achievements of women in Glasgow’s history.
Within Garnethill’s confined boundaries we spotlight the women who pioneered European art movements, designed the banners for suffragette processions, created the first women’s Library in Scotland and made Garnethill into the most exciting cultural and multicultural hotspot in Glasgow.
