5 out of 5 stars good book   January 12, 2008

if you like reading about Glasgow and the old Gorbals this is fine but also try colin macfarlane's The Real Gorbals Story who brings the 1960s Gorbals alive.


5 out of 5 stars How to bring up a family in only 2 rooms   February 8, 2001
 43 out of 43 found this review helpful

If your interest in history is how people actually lived, then this book is a must. It provides a detailed account of virtually all aspects of tenement life.

Tenement flats now provide "starter accomodation" for young couples and the young free and single. How on earth did mothers manage to bring up a family of four in a one bedroom, two room flat? There were no bathrooms, no toilets in the flats, and no washing machines. The answers are here.

Read this book if you live in any of Scotland's towns or cities with tenements flats, or if you have an interest in social history - it's excellent!
