Unsung pit crews put in pride of place at exhibition (Evening Times)
A new exhibition opened at Lambhill Stables celebrating the life and work of
the forgotten mining communities along the Forth and Clyde Canal.
The exhibition, Coal, Cottages and Canals, is part of two year community
history project investigating the vanished rows of miners’ cottages between
Lambhill and Bishopbriggs.
A team of local
volunteers has
been carrying out
community
archaeology,
photographic
surveys, oral
history recordings
and census data
research,
gathering clues
from the past to
paint a vivid
picture of
Glasgow’s
changing landscape.
A grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund has allowed to shine a light into a
part of Glasgow’s past that’s in danger of disappearing and that played a
vital role in growing our city’s fortunes.
Coal, Cottages and Canals will be displayed in the History and Heritage
Room at Lambhill Stables for one year from Monday 3 October 2016 (No 75
bus travels to this area). Admission is free.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------During ALL Sundays in Advent St
Oswald’s will have a box at the
back of the church to receive your
donations of tins and dry
goods.
If everybody would please bring
one item on all 4 Advent Sundays,
we should have a good number of
goods to take to the City Mission
over the Festive Season.
