Partick becomes part of Glasgow

[The Egg Man]

I'm told Partick became part of Glasgow sometime in 1912. Does any HG'er know the month or even the date?

Thanks in anticipation.

1911 when Partick was still a Burgh

4th November 1912 according to Robert Paul in his Partick Anecdotes - he quotes William Greenhorne from his "History of Partick", published in 1928

At midnight on the first Monday of November 1912, the Burgh of Partick ceased to exist. While the Burgh organist played "Lochaber no More", the Provost's chain of office was removed from his neck, and as his robe was laid aside the Provost said "There they lie, the abandoned habits of the Provost of Partick, taken from him by an Act of Parliament"

Partick's demise as a burgh had direct impact on Whiteinch, which was a suburb of Partick. When I look through the history of the old burghs, I wonder if they had been allowed to remain as they were - if they would have flourished or was it inevitable that Glasgow would consume all in its path?

Sometimes, I wish we were back in the Burgh system - local people, local control...

No great loss, 'dry' areas can be a haven for those of us who don't indulge.

Or any other pub in the vicinity! You missed out a whole list of pubs in the Thornwood and Partick area, perhaps too many these days to be viable?
