Book excerpt: "Glasgow has emerged into the 21st century as one of the world's most dynamic and vibrant cities. Over the course of the last 20 years it has shed its reputation as a decaying, grey, post-industrial 'no mean city'. But even when Glasgow was being shunned by tourists and travellers, it was being hailed by John Betjeman as 'Britain's finest Victorian City'; an accolade largely made valid by the legacy of the wealth of the 18th- and 19th-century city merchants who helped create its unique architectural style and structure. Adding to that the contributions of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander 'Greek' Thomson and it becomes clear as to why Glasgow is the city it is." "The status of Cultural Capital of Europe in 1990 - following on from Amsterdam, Athens, Berlin, Florence and Paris - gave the city its first major opportunity to reveal this style. By the end of the decade the accolade of UK City of Architecture and Design had also been added to ensure an increasingly enviable status throughout the world." "Roy Firth's portrait of the city is one man's view of the wealth of architecture, detail and sheer style that makes Glasgow and its surrounding area unique. Many visitors to the city may not have the time or the means to visit the places detailed here, but Glasgow: a portrait will remain a lasting souvenir of everything that is great about Glasgow."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Railways in the Landscape written by Gordon Biddle and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of railways was a major influence in transforming Britain's landscape. This book examines how they brought about physical changes to towns, the country and coast, and had a profound affect that is still visible today, especially on the shape and size of our towns and cities.In his book, Gordon Biddle begins by examining how railway routes transformed the rural scene and there effect on the economy, followed by an appraisal of there accompanying buildings such as stations, houses, signal boxes and yards following the changes in nineteenth-century architectural taste. He goes on to look at the impact of railways build along or near the coast, and their strong influence on the growth of seaside resorts and ports. He then turns to townscape, describing in turn the physical effect on London, other large cities, smaller towns and suburban growth.Also included are chapters on places the railways themselves created, from new towns to villages around a station or junction; the still-visible remains of abandoned railway, not only those that followed mass closures of the 1960s, but many long-standing that date back to the nineteenth century; twentieth- and twenty-first century developments that have continued to impact on the rural and urban scene; and a comparison of contemporary illustrations of an early main line in 1838 with its appearance today.

Download or read book Railways of Ayrshire written by Gordon Thomson and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1800s, Ayrshire was already established as a prosperous, mainly rural agricultural county. The realization that there was abundant coal and (to a lesser extent) iron ore deposits to be exploited, together with the coming of the Industrial Revolution, rendered the area wide open to the 'railway mania' that swept Britain in the mid to late 1800s. The proximity of the county north to Glasgow and south to Carlisle (and thence south) made it an attractive proposition for early railway developers. Gordon Thomson explores the history and development of the railway routes in Ayrshire; how the coming of the railways changed the face of the area and supported the growth of industry. It looks at how services evolved through the eras of LMS, nationalization and privatization, and the preservation and heritage scene in Ayrshire. Superbly illustrated with 273 colour and black & white photographs.
