| Comment | Ah right I get you. There are a lot of online tools and sites that can become a real time sink, if you find yourself wanting to look into stuff like this.
The thing that comes to mind immediately for what you're asking about, is this map on the NLS map explorer site: [Charles Goad's Fire Insurance Plan of Glasgow](https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=55.85916&lon=-4.25699&layers=218&b=1). It's a map that catalogued fire risk of buildings across Glasgow, and so ended up including a lot of info about building functions, arrangements, etc. It's really fascinating. If you overlay it on a modern map, you end up finding what was previously in place over a century ago. The digitised sheets currently only cover the city centre, Tradeston, the Gorbals, Bridgeton and the old Glasgow Harbour area. Nothing on the west end yet.
Quite often you can piece things together with info from other maps too. Here's a big list: https://maps.nls.uk/towns/glasgow.html |
