Last Exit from Bridgeton: An East End Childhood Remembered

James McKenna

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2006

When James McKenna first published his personal recollections of life in Bridgeton, he had no idea how quickly and widely his account of everyday life in the East End of Glasgow in the 1950s and 60s would be embraced by former inhabitants - including those now spread across the world but linked to the days of their childhood by the Internet. In this new edition, the author expands and enriches his own collection with many of their memories and personal anecdotes.
