	Glasgow - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Glasgow
		Glasgow lies on both sides of the River Clyde and is surrounded by hills; the city is partly built on the river terrace and partly on glacially deposited hills (drumlins).
		The most important of all the bridges, the Glasgow or Broomielaw Bridge, composed of granite, is a continuation of Jamaica Street; reconstructed in 1899, it proved inadequate for the constantly increasing traffic, and the George V Bridge was opened a short distance downstream in 1927.
		Glasgow also has many public parks and gardens, with the ‘fossil grove’ – a collection of petrified trees from the Carboniferous period – situated in Victoria Park, and the Kibble Crystal Palace (1873) – a large glass structure and winter garden – in the Botanical Gardens (1841).
