WW1 - SHETTLESTON DURING THE GREAT WAR.
We have been very fortunate to receive one of our project participant's relative's De-mob papers from WW1. He was born in 1898 in Shettleston and worked as a Carter. See picture below.

ALLOTMENTS IN SHETTLESTON
The first site established in Glasgow was New Victoria Gardens in 1879 hidden behind a small door in Glenapp St and the newest is the Shettleston Community Growing Project which opened in 2011 at 68 Eckford Street where they have raised plots for growing fruit and vegetables, they also have a community garden and a Smelly Wellie club for children up to 12 years old. Since opening the Growing Project won an award last year and have started a Green Volunteer Training Programme which lasts 8 weeks where local people can learn the various aspects of growing your own vegetables, fruit and flowers.
