	TGS - 1830s to 1914 - Neighbourhoods - Pollokshields
		Pollokshields was conceived in 1849 when Sir John Maxwell of Pollok, 8th baronet (1791-1865), commissioned architect David Rhind (1801-1883) to draw up plans for the development of the Shields part of his estate.
		Pollokshields was linked even more strongly with the rest of the city when the Cathcart Railway opened in 1894.
		By the 1900s Pollokshields was firmly identified as one of Glasgow's most attractive and affluent neighbourhoods.

	About Pollokshields and Pollokshields Heritage
		Pollokshields was created from the mid-19th century onwards by the Maxwell family of whom the best-known is Sir John Stirling Maxwell, a founder member of the National Trust for Scotland and of the Forestry Commission, and President of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts.
		In 1962 Pollokshields became a smokeless zone under the Clean Air Act and the mid-20th century tide of decline that threatened to destroy the character and quality of Pollokshields was halted with the designation of Conservation and Outstanding Conservation Area status in 1973.
		The recent restoration and development of the Burgh Hall, the return of former institutionally-used properties to family residences, the reinstatement of Sherbrooke Church, and the ongoing rehabilitation of Maxwell Park Railway Station are among the varied testaments to the current and ever-developing interest and commitment to this irreplaceable suburb.

		Broadly speaking, however, the leaflet warned of a deteriorating situation in Pollokshields between the white and Muslim members of the community, which situation was said to reflect a violent trend already seen in the towns in Northern England.
		It alleged that a number of attacks had recently been made on white people in Pollokshields by increasingly militant Muslim youths and that there was a threat of the use of substantial violence against white members of the community.
		Thus the description of events in the community and relations between its white and fl members as portrayed in the leaflet was not one which was recognised by informed members of that community or supported by official statistics and experience.
