    3. Jeanne, In Glasgow Gardner Street is in Partick. However it would only have become part of Glasgow in the first decade of the 1900s when the Burgh of Partick like several others was swallowed up by the adjacent City of Glasgow. The tenement flats in Gardner Street date from the late 1800s and were populated by the lower middle class/upper working class, socially way above the sort of tenements you will have read about in the slum areas of the east end and Gorbals etc. I might add Gardner Street is still very much Gardner Street. It runs down to Dumbarton Road, one of Glasgow's major roads from the very middle class Dowanhill area and the even posher Hyndland. I grew up less than one mile from Gardner Street. If you ever watch "Taggart" the Scottish police drama series based in Glasgow, it frequently features Gardner Street in episodes.

I've found the same Gardner Street in 1910 and 2010, and Maisie tells me this is in Partick. But Bob says that the street now called St. Peter's, in district C4, was once Gardner Street. I'm sure there couldn't have been 2 of them. Any suggestions?
