Partick Cross is a major road junction in Partick, in the west end of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.[1] The junction is the meeting point of Dumbarton Road, Byres Road, Partick Bridge Street and Coopers Well Street.
Riots took place on the centenary of Daniel O'Connell's birth on 6 August 1875. The Irish immigrants decided to celebrate with a march and the locals rose up in protest. The centre of what was said to be a major civil disturbance was at Partick Cross.[2] Thirty locals had to be sworn in as special constables including Rachel Hamilton and they drove the rioters back.[3]
Near to the Cross are some of the city's best known tourist destinations including:
Also nearby, in an alleyway off Dumbarton Road, is the Kelvinhall subway station – previously known as 'Partick Cross' until 1977 when modernisation work took place.
