The results below are in three sections. The first confirms the address you searched on, including details of any previous addresses used by the property. This may be because of street renumbering c 1930, or a street name change.

The second section lists all known previous residents at the property, based on historical records. These are mainly old Glasgow Post Office Directories to 1939, and valuation rolls from 1875 to 1925. They mostly predate the gardens but there are now a few records for these properties too. If any item in the results appears clickable, you’re in luck – it likely links to articles on the website covering that property or individual in more detail.

The third section contains some historical notes on the whole street.

Street Historical Notes
Queen SquareThe north side was first occupied 1866, builder Daniel McNicol, in the same style and time period as Regent Park Square.

The south side was first occupied in 1880, just after the north side of Princes (Marywood) Square in 1879. The builders were Alexander Thomson, brickmaker of Pollokshaws Road and Robert Anderson, joiner and wright, of Dumbarton Road (now Argyll Street).

The street was renumbered in 1929-30 with odd and even numbers on opposite sides of the street rather than numbered sequentially up and down. The end door tenements on Pollokshaws Road and the houses on the corner of Moray Place became part of Queen Square for the first time. No 13 was dropped.
