CALTON WEAVERS A group has been set up in Glasgow to keep alive the memory of the first sunrise of the Trade Union movement'. The Calton Weavers from the East End of Glasgow became Scotland's first working-class martyrs' when six of them were killed by soldiers sent in to quell their strike. |
Friends set to bring city's Calton Weavers back to life
Joanna Moore, whose house overlooks the cemetery, said: "This history should be put up in lights and people should be learning about it. "I have spoken to people who have lived in this area for 20 years and they don't know the history of the weavers. The story has just been forgotten. |
