Children Outside Dirty Dick's

Burrell Collection Photo Library, 1955 Survey

Children Outside Dirty Dick's

Children playing with cake boxes outside Dirty Dick's pub in Finnieston Street, 1955.

In 1955 Partick Camera Club set out to create a photographic survey of Glasgow. As the project progressed, other camera clubs joined and each was allocated a district of the city to photograph. Glasgow Museums exhibited the photographs at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and at the People's Place, and in 1956 the exhibition was shown at the Palace of Art in Bellahouston Park. The photographs are now part of Glasgow Museums' collections.
