Window to the Past: St Ninian’s Parish Church
And the changing face of the southside of Glasgow goes on with this picture of St Ninian’s parish church in Gorbals.
The church was built in 1882 to a design by James Ritchie and later became known as the Wynd United Free Church.
But, for the kids at the time, its front doors provided an excellent place to play a game of ‘shops’.
‘Goods’ were whatever could be ‘raked’ from nearby bins and cash was often pieces of glass.
