Blantyre Buildings

Blantyre Project aims to write about EVERY building that ever existed in Blantyre, both past and present. In unprecedented detail, I’ve created unique copyrighted directories for every property, the ultimate Blantyre reference tool exploring in words and pictures detailed history of every building, something never attempted before.

These “Veverka Directories” were produced from focused research, an incredible amount of time & effort, showing my discoveries, compiled addresses, streets, building names, shops & businesses, homes, ownership, tenants and when they were sold or inherited. It corrects many things incorrectly written about Blantyre online elsewhere. This HUGE part of the archive has clickable links for individual, illustrated histories including construction and demolition dates. Send me an email first if you want to use anything in my Directories for reference purposes on or offline. Thanks.
