Property Search Results
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.

Regent Park Square | First occupied in 1864 (eg. Robert Sinclair 15 RPS). Both sides were occupied by 1865. Built by Daniel McNicol. To be known initially as Annita Place, but name changed when it was constructed. 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 Regent Park Square. No 13 was dropped. |
