You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Shettleston''' (((lang-sco|Shuttlestoun)), ((lang-gd|Baile Nighean Sheadna))) is an area in the [[Glasgow#East End|east end of Glasgow]] in [[Scotland]].

==Toponymy==
The origin of the name 'Shettleston' is not clear and, like many place-names of possibly medieval origin, has had a multitude of spellings. A [[papal bull]] of 1179 refers to "villam filie Sedin" - the residence of Sedin's son or daughter.<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.glasgowhistory.co.uk/Books/Shettleston/Sections/History.htm| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190507112746/http://www.glasgowhistory.co.uk/Books/Shettleston/Sections/History.htm| archive-date = 2019-05-07| title = Shettleston - East Glasgow History)) </ref> A Gaelic derivation suggests "the daughter of Seadna".<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.gla.ac.uk/colleges/arts/aboutus/news/headline_580565_en.html|title = New website and associated programme to explore the influence of Gaelic on Glasgow))</ref>  
==History==
Like several areas of Glasgow, Shettleston was originally a small village on its outer edge, lying within [[Lanarkshire]]. Today Shettleston - the heart of a [[Shettleston (ward)|local authority ward of the same name]] - lies between the neighbouring areas of [[Parkhead]] to the west, and [[Baillieston]] to the east, and is about ((convert|2.5|miles)) from the city centre. Informally, it incorporates the neighbourhoods of [[Budhill]], and [[Greenfield, Glasgow|Greenfield]] immediately to the north, although they fall within another [[Scottish Parliament]] constituency and [[Glasgow City Council]] ward; however, the [[Sandyhills]] neighbourhood to the south-east has the same administration as Shettleston in all respects. The area is well served by public transport, lying on the [[A89 road]].

[[File:Palaceum.jpg|thumb|left|The Palaceum Bar, Shettleston in 2004.]]
[[File:KenmoreStreet Shettleston.jpg|left|thumb|Housing in Kenmore Street, Shettleston in 2004.]]
[[Shettleston railway station]] on the [[North Clyde line]] of the [[ScotRail]] local railway network provides a direct link to [[Glasgow Queen Street railway station|Glasgow Queen Street]]. It once was linked to [[Hamilton railway station (North British Railway)|Hamilton]] by the [[North British Railway]], but this line has long since been closed.

In the late 1970s into the mid 1980s, Shettleston, like many other districts in the East End, benefited greatly from the [[Glasgow Eastern Area Renewal]] (GEAR) initiative, and much regeneration took place during this period.  The area's housing stock was substantially upgraded with tenements being sandblasted and internally refurbished, and coal fires were replaced with gas [[central heating]].  There was also support for small business with a new industrial estate on Annick Street in 1980.  Landscaped areas were created on sites where derelict housing and industrial buildings that were beyond repair had been demolished.  GEAR also saw several of Shettleston's major public buildings replaced with new structures - a new police station in 1983, whilst several medical and dental practices were brought under one roof in a new medical centre in 1985.  Early 1986 saw the opening of the long awaited new building for [[Eastbank Academy]].

In the early years of the 21st century, Shettleston was identified as the only place in the United Kingdom where life expectancy was falling.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2004/mar/14/medicineandhealth.lifeandhealth|title=Shettleston's falling life expectancy|location=London|first=David|last=Smith|date=14 March 2004|work=The Guardian|access-date=23 May 2010))</ref> The reasons for the decline included poor diet and remarkably high smoking rates; neighbouring [[Easterhouse]] does not fare much better.

Shettleston was badly affected by the [[2002 Glasgow floods]].<ref>[https://www.scotsman.com/news-2-15012/remembering-glasgow-s-floods-of-2002-1-3997763 Remembering Glasgow’s floods of 2002], The Scotsman, 11 January 2016</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/2166701.stm|title=Floods cost into 'millions'|website=BBC News|date=1 August 2002))</ref>

==Education==

Shettleston contains three non-denominational schools; Eastbank Academy, founded in [[1894]] serves as the area's main [[secondary school]], and was rebuilt in the mid 1980s and then expanded in the early 2000s.  Two of its feeder [[primary school]]s, namely Eastbank Primary School (originally part of Eastbank Academy, but became fully independent in 1968), and Wellshot Primary School - lie within its notional boundaries.  St Paul's RC Primary School is also located in the nearby Sandyhills area.  The [[John Wheatley College]] originally existed in the area from 1989 to 2007 (in the former Eastbank Academy buildings), before it moved to its present site in [[Haghill]].

Now defunct schools in the area include Shettleston Nursery on Old Shettleston Road, and St Mark's (RC) Primary School.

==Churches==
Shettleston has a number of churches of all denominations, St Paul's (RC), Shettleston Baptist Church, [[St Serf's Church, Shettleston|St Serf's Episcopal Church]], Shettleston Trinity Church, [[Shettleston New Church|Shettleston New Church of Scotland]] (formerly Eastbank Parish Church), Romanian Orthodox Church in Shettleston Old Parish Church Halls, the Shettleston Old Church Halls was home to a number of community groups, including the 94th Glasgow (1st Shettleston) Company of the Boys' Brigade, founded in 1893. The church closed and parishioners were amalgamated with the Church of Scotland in Tollcross, due to building falling into disrepair in 2016 and as of 2017, is currently up for sale.  In 2018 the 94th Glasgow Boys' Brigade moved base to Shettleston New Church near Aldi and Tesco on Old Shettleston Road/Annick Street. St Barnabas RC Church in Darleith St, Shettleston am sure is still an active Church. 

==Sport==
[[Glasgow United F.C.|Glasgow United]] (formerly Shettleston Juniors) is the local [[Association football|football]] club, having been founded in 1903 and play in the [[West of Scotland Football League]] Conference B.
