This rather odd little building squashed between two tenements on Cressy Street in the Linthouse area of Glasgow was originally built in the early 1900s as the Cressy Halls.

Die „Hausfrauen-Wohnungsgesellschaft“ besetzte leere Wohnungen mit Streikposten und hinderte Neumieter*innen am Betreten. Wenn sich Verwalter*innen oder die Polizei näherten, schlug eine Frau Alarm – mit Glocken, Trommeln, Tröten oder Pfeifen. pinkstinks.de/mary-barbour... #MaryBarbour

This brilliant new mural on Govan Road in Glasgow is of Mary Barbour, a Scottish political activist and social policy pioneer of the early 20th Century. She first made a name for herself leading the rent strikes of 1915.
