Glasgow Industrial School for Girls

Glasgow Industrial School for Girls was formed in 1881 when the mixed industrial school was split into a new location in Maryhill, Glasgow.

[1] It was a residential workhouse that provided education for girls from families that could not support them.

It reached notoriety in 1882 when the assistant superintendent resigned following public outcry over a flogging she administered.

[2][3] The girls were taught sewing, knitting, house work, helping in the kitchen and laundry, and machine work.

They made uniforms for the boys in the associated industrial school.
