Anybody wanna know about a 1960s adventure play-park in the Gorbals, run by Glaswegian folk singer Matt McGinn, which the council tried to shut down but failed cause like all the kids in the Gorbals marched on City Chambers?

Aye aye. 🧵 1/5

A black-and-white photo of a protest of children walking through Glasgow streets carrying protest signs and banners. One is particularly visible, and reads:

'THE VENNY FOR
EVER
DONT PUL IT DOWN
WERE WILL WE GO TO
IF YOU PULL IT DOWN
THERE IS NO
PLACE ELSE'

In the foreground a child holds their sibling as they watch the march.
