The Foundry Boys' Church at Garngad
The church is on Tharsis Street. Built in the mid-19th century, the architect is unknown. The adjacent hall was built about 15 years ago.
The Glasgow Foundry Boys' Religious Society was founded in 1865 to provide a diversion and spiritual guidance for young men (the foundry boys) who were not on the official payroll of the iron foundries, but who worked there on an ad-hoc unofficial basis. Many of these young workers tended to roam the streets, often causing a nuisance.
There were once several Foundry Boys' churches in Glasgow, but this is now the last one.
