 TGS - 1830s to 1914 - Neighbourhoods - Cowcaddens
Cowcaddens had been a village just beyond the West Port of the city on the edge of the common where cows were pastured.
While most other areas of the city experienced some improvement in life expectancy during the last quarter of the 19th century, there was little sign of this in Cowcaddens and it remained the area with the highest levels of infant mortality (190 per thousand births) well into the 20th century.
Despite the increasingly notorious housing conditions, Cowcaddens seems to have had a distinct identity and it was convenient for the city centre.

 New Grand Cinema Glasgow
The Cowcaddens of the 1800s was a far cry from the barren, motorway scarred area of today.
Cowcaddens then was a bustling community, full of houses, shops, pubs, factories and theatres including The Prince of Wales Music Hall which opened in 1867 and was one of Glasgow's oldest music halls.
Along with much of Cowcaddens, the New Grand was demolished in 1966 as part of the redevelopment of the area.

When, back in 1996, SMG, owners of The Herald, the Sunday Herald, the Evening Times, and Scottish Television, decided to move their publishing HQ from the cramped and scenically-challenged surroundings of Albion Street, they planned ahead with style.
The new office complex was to be linked with the Scottish Television's HQ in Cowcaddens with a dramatic new entrance built to overlook the city centre, the dominant position at the top of Renfield Street mirroring and underlining The Herald's status as Scotland's leading quality broadsheet.
Meantime, the Albion Street presses will continue to roll albeit that their rumble and roar are too far away to be heard by the journalists who make the newspapers.
