The People's Palace
This is a museum which outlines the history of the City of Glasgow from 1750 to the present. Together with the adjoining Winter Gardens it was opened by the Earl of Rosebery in 1898 and its target audience were the people of Glasgow's East End, which was one of the City's most unhealthy areas at that time. The new Museum was to be a cultural centre for them. It was originally laid out with reading and recreation rooms on the ground floor, a museum on the first floor and a picture gallery on the second floor.
Since the 1940s, however, it has been the Local History Museum of Glasgow.
The Museum runs different Exhibitions and caters for school parties.
On site there is a Museum Shop and in the Winter Gardens there is a Cafe.
Admission is free. Late Night Buses
After a night out at one of the City's theatres or Dance Halls I can remember making my way to George Square to catch one of the late night buses. Late night revellers would appear from all corners of the Square and would start queuing at what appeared to be random places around the Square. Buses would arrive and having got on the right bus you were grateful to the conductor for waking you up just before it was time for your stop!
Then came the night you had just missed your bus and the next one was an hour later. Did you stay for that next bus, or like I did, several times, did you walk the whole way home. It was actually quite a pleasant experience and, in those days, quite safe.
