Glasgow City Chambers: These were opened by Queen Victoria in 1888 on her second visit to the city. When she visited 39 years earlier, she disliked the city and said that she would prefer not to return!
This is the oldest building in Glasgow.
The Doulton Fountain: This is the largest Terracotta fountain in the world. It was actually quite spectacular due in part to the fact that it has recently been refurbished at a cost of £4,400,000!
The People's Palace: This is a social history museum that tells the story of Glasgow from 1750 onwards. It was very interesting to see the photo exhibition of life in Glasgow in 1955. There were photos of 'Scotch Washing' which is where housewives would take all there washing to Glasgow Green and trample and wash it in large tubs full of Scotch.
