Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Original research Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox UK place Barlanark (Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell[1]) is a district in Glasgow. It is situated east of Budhill, Shettleston and Springboig, north west of Baillieston, west of Springhill and Swinton and south of Easthall, Easterhouse and Wellhouse.[2]
Name
The name Barlanark is an apparently hybrid Gaelic-Brythonic name suggesting the hill at the clearing from the Gaelic bàrr and Brythonic lanerc meaning "clearing".[3] The first element may represent a Gaelicisation of Brythonic *baɣeδ, 'boar' (Welsh baedd).[4]
History
Barlanark housing scheme was developed in response to the city's grave post-war housing needs: In 1952/53 over 2,300 3- and 4-bedroom apartments were constructed and rented out to 'Corporation' tenants. There were also 5-apartment semi-detached houses, and 3-apartment terraced houses built, next to the Estate of Barlanark House,[5][6] which was constructed by David Hamilton in 1822, demolished in 1954 (a playpark now stands on the site).[7]
Community Development
The Calvay Centre opened in 2007, replacing the block of flats and shopping area. The centre has a 12-place IT Suite as part of the John Wheatley Learning Network,[8] a 24-place nursery operated by Glasgow East Regeneration Agency, and a family centre operated by Quarriers. The centre is used to provide services for the local community and to offer meeting spaces for local groups and organisations including a church.[9]
The social housing stock in the area is managed by two housing associations, Calvay covering the northern neighbourhood[10][11] and Gardeen covering the south.[12] Both clusters contain renovated tenements and modern housing and have their own local shops and community facility. A development of private housing, Earlybraes was added in the late 2010s,[13] located between two cemeteries, the municipally-owned Sandymount (which includes Muslim and Jewish sections)[14] and the Glasgow Hebrew Burial Society's dedicated Glenduffhill facility.[15]
In 2016, Glasgow City Council outlined masterplans for the development of the Greater Easterhouse area (including Barlanark) over the next 20 years.[16][17]
