Area Information:
Glasgow is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK. It has one of
the largest shopping areas outside of London and boasts many fine restaurants
and museums.
Pollokshields is on the southside of Glasgow approximately 3 miles from
the city centre. It is a conservation area and was established by the
Stirling-Maxwell family in 1849.
Many well-known Glaswegian architects contributed to its development and, amongst others, it contains villas by Glasgow's other architectural genius Alexander 'Greek' Thomson.
There are also several contributions by contemporaries of Charles Rennie
Mackintosh including a series of good 'Glasgow style' tenements by the
architect H. E. Clifford, who was also responsible for the 'A' listed
Pollokshields Burgh Hall.
Such was its early population growth, Pollokshields attained 'burgh' status
in 1876. However, this ended in 1891 when after being offered favourable
tax terms the residents of the burgh agreed to it becoming a suburb of
the growing city of Glasgow.
The Victorian and Edwardian architecture and the parks of this area have
remained almost untouched, leaving the feeling of a leafy Victorian suburb,
while being well within the city.
Local attractions include the Burrell Collection, Bellahouston Park and
the House for an Art Lover.
History:
In 1896 John Morrison, a respected contractor of the time, built a baronial
villa for himself in Pollokshields, namely, The Sherbrooke Castle, designed
by Thomson and Sandylands. It is a good example of the type of house built
by the middle-class in the rather decadent, late Victorian period. It
has a number of unusual features. The rooms are arranged around three
sides of a large hall and staircase.
The external baronialism is, in some ways, an added romantic touch. During World War 11 the house was used by the Royal Navy and is one of the only properties in the area to have the original iron railings surrounding the grounds, it's high square tower is one of the best known local landmarks.
After the war, the house became a Hotel and is now best known as The
Sherbrooke Castle Hotel.
Morrison’s Restaurant has been named in memory of John Morrison,
who, along with his partner Thomas Mason built The Sherbrooke Castle.
The architect Robert Sandylands was the son of a wood merchant from Lesmahagow who arrived in Glasgow in the 1870's to become a pupil of local architect, Alexander Petrie. He stayed with Petrie from March 1875 to September 1880, during which time he was awarded a Certificate of Honour by the RIBA for measured drawings of Dunblane Cathedral (March 1880).
To broaden his experience, he travelled to Paris where he trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, under Professor Gaudet for five years from October 1880. While in Paris, he took the opportunity to travel on the Continent, sketching and absorbing local architectural styles.
On his return to Scotland, he entered a partnership with John Thomson (1859-1933) from around 1888 the pair produced a wide range of high quality work in and around Glasgow, most of it with Beaux Arts flavour.
His partner John Thomson was from a distinguished architectural background being the eldest son of Alexander (Greek) Thomson. He was apprenticed to Robert Turnbull, his father's last partner, after his father's death. Following his apprenticeship, he studied under R.Phene Spiers from 1881 at the R.A.Schools in London.
Thereafter, he worked for a time with William Flockhart, the London-based Scot. He began business on his own account in 1886 and formed a partnership with Robert Douglas Sandylands from 1888 after being refused re-admission to his father's old firm.
