Kelvindale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kelvindale (Dail Chealbhainn in Gaelic) is a district in the west of the city of Glasgow in Scotland. Construction started in the 1920s by Glasgow Corporation. The houses were intended for sale rather than for rent, but they retain some architectural features in common with Glasgow's once enormous rental housing stock. Subsequently in the 1930s private builders extended the district considerably. In the early 2000s it remains a desirable family area near the city's West End.
A railway station was opened on 26 September 2005 to serve Kelvindale. It runs from Glasgow Queen Street (High Level) to Anniesland, an extension of the Maryhill Line. The number 44A bus runs through the area into the city centre.
Kelvindale contains St John's Renfield Church, Glasgow Nuffield Hospital, Cleveden Secondary School and Kelvindale Primary School.
Historic images of the Kelvindale area can be found on the Virtual Mitchell website.
