Local history resources

11 November 2025

We are looking to set up a local heritage group for people interested in finding out more about the history of our community.

Whether it’s famous people who have lived here, the wonderful architecture, the different historical events that have touched this area or just the ways that people’s lives and livelihoods have changed over the years, there’s a lot to explore.

Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, 6.30 to 8.30pm, at the Community Central Hall, 292–316 Maryhill Rd, Glasgow G20 7YE.

Please come along to find out more and help us get started!

If you’re interested in getting involved but can’t attend the meeting, we’ll post further details here and in our newsletter when we have them.

    Hi Paul, it will probably be Tues 10th Feb – is that any good for you? Venue to be confirmed.

    I’ve put a page up of local history resources and will add an introductory page about the group soon.
