Official synopsis Publisher
This was the very first book in our ‘Wheels Around’ series and justifiably, is still extremely popular. So much more than just a transport book, it will captivate anyone with connections to Glasgow featuring, as it does, wonderful shots of city streets and landmarks from times gone by (which also happen to include interesting ‘wheeled’ features). There’s the unforgettable picture of an aeroplane being towed along St Vincent Street; St Enoch Square so absolutely packed with cars and buses it s a wonder they move at all and a Cunarder tram clattering towards Glasgow Cross. There s also a horse-drawn Barr’s Irn Bru cart and views of Buchanan Street before it was pedestrianised; truly an evocative stroll down memory lane.
