Step into Thomas Sulman’s intricate 1864 map of Glasgow and explore the next 50 years of the city’s development, as it became ‘the Second City of the Empire’. Explore Glasgow City Heritage’s new interactive website, featuring an animation, interactive map, blog posts and more!
The story goes that Thomas Sulman took to a hot air balloon to draw the map for the Illustrated London News, which gives it a unique and highly detailed perspective. It captures a city on the cusp of greatness: the Victorians have found success in manufacturing and trading, they’ve conquered much of the world. They celebrate these achievements by constructing extravagant buildings in which to work, live and meet. It’s an exciting time, full of opportunity and optimism. Follow a family of five as they navigate a day in the city – when the spectacularly rich were living side-by-side with some of the poorest in Britain
