Glasgow’s East End… ParkHead Town Centre. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Parkhead (Scots: Pairkheid) is a district in the East End of Glasgow. Its name comes from a small weaving hamlet at the meeting place of the Great Eastern Road (now the Gallowgate and Tollcross Road) and Westmuir Street. Glasgow’s Eastern Necropolis cemetery was laid out in the area in 1847 beside the Gallowgate.

There are local challenges; people living in Parkhead, Dalmarnock and Camlachie have poorer life outcomes than the city average. The average number of years that local men are likely to spend in good health is 47, the lowest in Glasgow, compared to the Glasgow. average of 56.

There’s no getting away from the fact the eara is rough and poor, but the majority of the folks are the salt of the earth.
