Grand Victorian

Over in Glasgow for a work strategy development day, which gave me the opportunity to blip the grand Victorian buildings in Hope Street.

The street was opened around the turn of the century from 18th to 19th and Hope Street first included in the Glasgow Directory of 1803. The Napoleonic Wars were kicking off in 1803, with the Battle of Trafalgar taking place in October 1805. One of the leading naval officers serving throughout his time, including action at Trafalgar was Rear-Admiral Sir George Johnstone Hope. It appears that this why this street is so called.

Hope you have had a nice day.
