Photo
by Thomas Annan in 1867 of a 'close' leading off High Street in Glasgow. Annan was
commissioned by the Glasgow City Council to photograph this and other slum areas, before
urban renewal took place in the old part of the city. High Street was close to Saltmarket
Street, where the MacGibbon family had its shop and residence. Many similar closes led off
Saltmarket Street. |
