The Drying Green, east of the Peoples Palace in Glasgow green, was erected so the people of Glasgow could dry their washing in the open air. Up until 1977 many women preferred to bring their washing here and use the clothes poles on the green.
1732 saw the opening of the city’s first Wash-house affectionately known as the “Steamie” on the banks of the Camlachie Burn. 275 years later the clothes poles where washing was hung out to dry are still in evidence and there are 36 of them which have been restored and in some cases replaced completely.
This common drying green was used and shared by local people as the housing conditions which were very cramped and there was very little space to hang out their washing.
Please bring your own pen.
