Maryhill Stained Glass Panels

After a meeting at Maryhill Burgh Halls this morning I took some photographs of the stained glass panels by Stephen Adams.

Maryhill Burgh Halls originally contained twenty stained glass panels created by the studio of Adam and Small. Their studio in Glasgow was setup in 1870.

The two panels shown here are the Railwaymen on the left and the Boatbuilder on the right.

The Railwaymen: Maryhill had two stations: Maryhill Central Station for the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway was built in 1896, and demolished in 1966. The station shown is thus likely to be Maryhill Park Station, at Station Road.

The Boatbuilder: The worker is a ship's carpenter with his plane (on ground) and a shaping adze over his shoulder. He is wearing corduroy trousers and a jacket and waistcoat -dungarees were a long way off for working men in 1870.
