Visit to the People's Palace




After the Hidden Gardens we headed over to the People's Palace, where we had an introductory talk by Rachel one of the Learning Assistants and a tour round the exhibition "Glasgow 1955:Through the Lens", showing photographs taken and exhibited by the various Camera Clubs in 1955. Then we had time to wonder round the different exhibits which included a reconstruction of a "single end", and a "Steamie', and items from the Sufferagette movement including a tea service, and some weapons used during a riot with police. All very thought provoking stuff !
We'd like to give a big thank you to Ian for driving the minibus and for getting the group back to Falkirk safely.
