Welcome to Mosspark in Glasgow. Mosspark is a area in the city of Glasgow. It is situated south of the River Clyde, in the south-west of the city. Mosspark and the lands of East and Mid-Henderston were incorporated into Glasgow in 1909. They covered seventy-two hectares of farmland and their acquisition was prompted by the need to develop peripheral communities to help ease the city's notoriously high levels of overcrowding. Mosspark the background of the First World War was also crucially important for determining Mosspark's pioneering place in Glasgow Corporation's housing programme. In 1919 plans for reconstruction had been put in place by central government and ground breaking legislation made it compulsory for local authorities to implement planned housing schemes, underpinned by Treasury subsidies. As a result, Mosspark became the most ambitious of the Corporation's immediate post-war developments. |
