1913-14 valuation rolls Glasgow

[Ketzel]

Yes, I have the postcard photo, too. But I still think that the building beyond the pub (if that's what you're referring to when you say where the cab is) is too small to have contained 16 flats, judging by its footprint on the 1893 map. If #40 is both pub AND four stories of flats, as it appears in the photo, why aren't the tenants of those flats listed? Especially given that Margaret Black owned both #40 and #36, I'm inclined to think they are one and the same building. Some of the buildings on Bridgegate must have more than one number, since there are more numbers in the valuation roll than there are buildings on the map. I think this must have been particularly true when there were flats above stores.

Do you know whether there are valuation rolls for, say, 1896 and 1900, and how I might access them from here? I live in Maine, in the U.S.

Thanks very much for all your help, Annette.

Best, Elaine

Hi Elaine,

Although these 'apartments' are over the pub they would have been entered from the close at No 36 and therefore the address would be 36 Bridgegate.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Elaine,

Here is a photograph of where I bought my very first flat nearly 40 years ago. https://www.onesurvey.org/Public/Instru ... n_id=11307 at 1102 Pollokshaws Road.

Dixons travel is number 1100 and my ex flat was directly above it. My neighbour was above the PDSA which is number 1104. You can see the shared close entrance to the flats (number 1102) between them.

The grounds were owned by the Bank of Scotland which was on the corner at 1110 Pollokshaws Road.

Regards,
Annette

Ahh! So the "close" is an alley between the buildings where the entrance is? And does it have its own number, as distinct from a building number? Since we don't use the term in the U.S., I've been mystified about what it means.

Thanks so much!
Elaine

I should have added - there are 12 households each with 2 rooms and a bathroom up that close at 1102!
