Old Bridgeton and Calton
Bridgeton and Calton formed the heart of Glasgow's old East End until half the area was swept away in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Eric Eunson chronicles the rise and fall of these two neighbourhoods, covering their early history along with the story of Glasgow Green and its various uses and entertainments, the much-travelled McLennan Arch, and the origins of the name Shipka Pass. Shops, merchants and pubs - including, of course, the famous Sarry Heid (Saracen Head) - are featured, along with views of the Gallowgate, London Street, Abercromby Street, London Road, Bellgrove Street and more, not forgetting Bridgeton Cross and the 'umbrella'. The book finishes up with pictures of Dalmarnock Road and its surroundings.
Carlton
Reflecting upon his childhood and the renowned 90s so as to fill in blanks that have remained largely unspoken of, The Final Say is set to reveal what Carlton's life has been like over the last 2 decades....this book is sure to surprise many who have pre-conceptions on both his beliefs and his private life! Offering so much more than just violence and crime, this book also delves into intimate details of Carlton's life, from his east London up-bringing including his 1960s and 70s schooling, the highs experienced over decades of partying in Ibiza, to the immense pain of watching his father fade and pass away, plus so much more inbetween. Here, Carlton recalls the most extreme moments in his life that have yet to be discussed, from the most joyous to the excruciating. This is a rare opportunity to hear, not just from the man himself, but also from those closest to him; Carlton's family and inner-circle. For Carlton, it's time to set rumours straight, leave his legacy and for him to have the final say. Going a step further than the written word, this book also includes over 35 never before published photographs!
The Story of Calton Jail
Located a short distance from Edinburgh's Princes Street, the castellated design of Calton Hill Prison was often mistaken by 19th-century visitors to the city for Edinburgh Castle. Occupying a prominent site on the rocky slope of Calton Hill, the then largest jail in Scotland was constructed to replace the aging Tolbooth and soon became the region's main correction facility, housing prisoners awaiting trial and those facing execution, including murderers, political agitators, fraudsters, terrorists, and even the notorious body-snatchers Burke and Hare. For the inmates--the first of whom arrived in 1817--life inside the prison was wretched: conditions were squalid and discipline harsh, food was basic, and the cells cold. In this, the first long overdue history of the prison, Malcolm Fife tells the story of Calton Jail's from its earliest days to the present, the staff and prisoners, the escapes and executions, the crimes and punishments, and it's rebuilding and reform. Richly illustrated, it offers an absorbing insight into the Scottish criminal justice system.
