This one-hour guided walk offers a shorter version of our ever-popular East End Heritage Walk highlighting some of the achievements and struggles of the industrious and resourceful women of Bridgeton and Calton, and the radical nature of the area which gave birth to them.   You’ll learn about the women of the Templeton factory, the suffragettes, the brazen women of Glasgow Green, and many, many more!
