Glasgow's Grand Central Hotel

The final meeting of this session will take place on 10 March 2016.in the Lecture Hall of Paisley Museum. The AGM will start at 7.15, followed by a talk on the above subject by Jill Scott and Bill Hicks.

Jill Scott advised us of the following:

Our background is very straightforward...Bill Hicks and I are both former newspaper journalists (we worked for The Sunday Post) and were given the opportunity to write the history of the Central Hotel following its refurbishment in 2009/10.  With new owners carrying out the refurbishment the hotel was entering a new era in Glasgow's history following many years of decline. Amazingly its history had never been documented despite the fact the building has had a landmark place in the city's life since 1883. Many stars of stage and screen in the past have stayed there, from Mae West to the Beatles and Cliff Richards.

Non-members are welcome to attend the talk at a cost of £3.00.
