This website has been created to share and capture information about the history of the Mansewood area in Glasgow.
It was originally created using information collected by Bob Leiser, a Mansewood resident, but contains a facility for others to add their own information, views, or ideas.
The information was collected from a few main sources, which are explained in more detail on the References page.
New!Added October 2007 is a page of Mansewood images - various photos and document scans.
New!Added October 2007 - scans of original documents relating to people and properties in Mansewood Road
New!Added October 2007 - recollections from former residents of old Mansewood
The website contains pages on;
 | the area before the first houses were built |
| the initial housing development and the first residents |
| Mansewood in 1914 |
| Mansewood today. |
| For the present, the website covers only that
triangle of modern day Mansewood from Eastwood Parish Church, along
Mansewood Road to the top of Bemersyde Road, down to Thornliebank Road
and back along Thornliebank Road to Eastwood Parish Church. This area
is shown in the map, and may be extended if more information
comes to light on other parts.
Mansewood Road rises to 63 metres (over 200 feet) above sea level, making it higher than any of the Pollok Estate, and higher than the back road to Kennishead. Cathkin Braes beyond Castlemilk is the nearest land which exceeds this height. Future additions to this web site could include;
