Maybe there's another thread but it alludes me after searching high and low.
On the second floor of the Provands Lordship one of the walls is given over to pictures and stories of Glasgow street characters over the centuries. One of them that springs to mind was the poor man who had no legs and would use a piece of wood on wheels to push his way up and down Argyle St begging for food.
However a bit later and in my day there was a mother and daughter who lived around the Cowcaddens/ Charing X area who would go about their business dressed in Victorian-style clothes. The daughter in particular wore what looked like a faded wedding dress. The story being that her fiancée was killed in the war and she never got over it - big time.
It was Cowcaddens version of Miss Havisham.
Anyone remember this?
