Victoria Road Govanhill
The history of the area is linked to the Dixon family. A prominent ironmaster, William Dixon opened blast furnaces to the North of Govanhill which became known as 'Dixons Blazes'. A company village called Fireworks Village was situated on the site of the later Burgh of Govanhill. The area itself was formed in 1877 and the main avenue that runs the length of it is called Dixon Avenue. Some of the local streets were name after the daughters of William Dixon Jnr; Allison Street, Daisy Street, and Annette Street. Successive waves of immigrants from Ireland, Pakistan and more recently Poland and Slovakia have given the area a rich multicultural identity.
Govanhill is home to one of Glasgow's original Carnegie libraries, deftly designed in the Edwardian Baroque style by James Robert Rhind. The library is situated on Langside Road at its junction with Calder Street.

Govanhill Public Baths-back
In 2001 Glasgow City Council closed the Public wash-house/pool despite the fact that many people in the surrounding area didn’t have baths, showers or even the simplest of washing facilities, thus taking away the simple right to have a wash and the dignity of personal hygiene. Before the closure new baths were opened in the Bellahouston & Gorbals areas, neither of them have private washing facilities for individuals.
