Parkhead - Past, Present & Future

In an extensive new commission for Parkhead Hub, photographer Chris Leslie has created large-scale prints that celebrate people and places, exploring iconic buildings and green spaces around Parkhead. This series incorporates close-ups of community activities at the Saturday Sewing group, Wash House Garden and Parkhead Art Club, combined with local architecture details and evolving landscapes.

Together they symbolise the past, present and future of Parkhead and the East End of Glasgow. Commissioned by GCHSCP, these works are displayed at the brand-new Parkhead Social and Health Hub, which opened in 2025.
