This Is My GlasgowNeedless to say, Glaswegians flocked to both theatres to watch the drama unfold, both on stage and off, but eventually, a magistrate had to step in and ordered the two theatres to perform on alternating nights to to stop the feud getting any further out of hand. Why this story of warring theatre impressarios hasn't yet been made into a TV drama series, I don't know, but if anyone's interested, I'd be happy to write it.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/necropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#necropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theatre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theatre</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theatrehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theatrehistory</a>

This Is My GlasgowThis is one of my favourite memorials in the Glasgow Necropolis, and there's an amusing story associated with it. It was erected in memory of the theatre impressario John Henry Alexander who died in 1851, and who already owned theatres on Carlisle and Dumfries before coming to Glasgow in the 1820s.Cont./<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/necropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#necropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theatre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theatre</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theatrehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theatrehistory</a>

This Is My GlasgowGrand monuments in the Necropolis, Glasgow's first major Victorian cemetery. Opened in the 1840s, it marked a shift in burial practices in the growing city from people being interred in small burial grounds surrounding local churches to the use of large centralised cemeteries.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecturephotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/graveyards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#graveyards</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/necropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#necropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/cemetery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cemetery</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/memorials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#memorials</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/gravestones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gravestones</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgownecropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgownecropolis</a>

This Is My GlasgowThe grand processional leading from the medieval Cathedral across the Bridge of Sighs, which carries it over the Molendinar Ravine, to the Necropolis, Glasgow's Victorian city of the dead. It was designed by David and James Hamilton, and was built in the 1830s.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecturephotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgownecropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgownecropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/necropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#necropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowcathedral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowcathedral</a>

This Is My GlasgowIn total, there are about 3,500 grave markers in the Necropolis, but around 50,000 people were buried here, so the majority lie in unmarked common graves like this one.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/necropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#necropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgownecropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgownecropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowtoday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowtoday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowphotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/cemetery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cemetery</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/graveyard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#graveyard</a>

This Is My GlasgowLove this flower memorial which is being created in the Necropolis, Glasgow's main Victorian cemetery. It marks a common grave where 8,094 people were interred. When visiting the Necropolis, it's easy to focus on the ornate monuments created for the upper echelons of Glasgow society set on the top of the hill and forget that this was a burial place for all.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/necropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#necropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgownecropolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgownecropolis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowtoday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowtoday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowphotography</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/cemetery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cemetery</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/graveyard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#graveyard</a>
