Springburn Winter Gardens :: More Info

In 1892, Glasgow Corporation acquired a rather uninteresting bunch of fields with a disused quarry, to build a park. In 1900, Hugh Reid of the North British Locomotive Company donated a further area of land, along with £12,000 to build the nearby Springburn Public Halls (now also derelict) - a condition of the gift was that the City should construct the Winter Gardens.

The Gardens have now been derelict for about 25 years, and are A-listed.
