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 18.208.0.0/16 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 01:01, 24 April 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.

[[File:Riverside warehouse - geograph.org.uk - 1655945.jpg|thumb|''Kingston House'', a riverside warehouse in Tradeston dating from 1878]]
'''Tradeston''' (((Lang-sco|Tredstoun))) is a small [[district]] in the [[Scotland|Scottish]] city of [[Glasgow]] adjacent to the city centre on the south bank of the [[River Clyde]].  The name (a [[portmanteau]] of "Trades Town") reflected its role as a primarly dockland area with a large number of warehouses and wharves along the riverside were vessels would be unloaded.  It merges to the south and west with [[Kingston, Glasgow|Kingston]], and the two districts are often considered one and the same.

By the middle of the 20th Century, most of this had disappeared, although remnants of the area's thriving trading industry had survived in its high concentration of [[Cash and carry (wholesale)|wholesaler]] businesses, some of which are still in operation into the 21st Century.  Today, Tradeston has become increasingly gentrified, with the city centre's financial district now expanding over to the south bank, heralding the arrival of new office and residential developments.

==Geography==
Tradeston borders with [[Laurieston, Glasgow|Laurieston]] and the [[Gorbals]] to its immediate east, [[Pollokshields]] to the south and [[Kingston, Glasgow|Kingston]] to the west, therefore its notional boundaries are the River Clyde to the north, the [[Inverclyde Line|Glasgow to Paisley]] railway line to the south, Eglinton Street and Bridge Street to the east and West Street to the  west. The [[M74_motorway#Northern_extension|M74 Extension]] traverses the area.

The [[Tradeston Bridge]], opened on 14 May 2009, links Tradeston and neighbouring Kingston with [[Broomielaw]] and the city's [[International Financial Services District]] for pedestrians and cyclists.

==Economy and Architecture==

Tradeston's historical role as a centre for warehousing and trade is symbolised by its grandest and most famous building - 95 Morrison Street - which was constructed as '''Co-Operative House'''; the headquarters  of [[The Co-operative Group|CWS Scotland]] - a role which it maintained well into the late 20th Century.  It was designed by architects Bruce and Hay and built between 1893-97 as the head office of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society.  A famous [[urban myth]] persists that it was one of the rejected designs for [[Glasgow City Chambers]] which was constructed on [[George Square]] so similar are the two buildings' basic appearance.  The building has since been converted for residential use.

Tradeston's role as a hub for trade continued well into the late 20th century, as a large number of [[Cash and carry (wholesale)|wholesaler]] (Cash and Carry) businesses continued to be located in the area, although some of these have gradually closed down or have opened as retailers to the general public as a higher residential population has now moved into the area.

Many former industrial buildings in the area were demolished as part of the M74 Extension which opened in June 2011. [[Barclays Bank]] opened a new headquarters at the Tradeston waterfront on the River Clyde's south bank in 2021, expected to lead to thousands of new jobs and kickstart the regeneration of Tradeston as a whole. Known as [[Buchanan Wharf]] and managed by [[Paul Stallan|Stallan-Brand architects]], the project consisted of replacing low rise industrial units with new office buildings and renovating two previously derelict [[Listed building|listed]] 1870s warehouses, the BECO Building and Kingston House, for public use.<ref>[https://stallanbrand.com/projects/clyde-place-glasgow/ Clyde Place, Glasgow], Stallan-Brand</ref><ref>[https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/19641899.amp/ Barclays opens new Glasgow campus that will be home to 5,000 employees], Glasgow Times, 12 October 2021</ref><ref>[https://www.urbanrealm.com/news/9666/Barclays_complete_riverside_Glasgow_campus.html Barclays complete riverside Glasgow campus], Urban Realm, 15 October 2021</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://home.barclays/news/press-releases/2021/10/barclays-unveils-state-of-the-art-campus-in-glasgow/|title=Barclays unveils state-of-the-art campus in Glasgow|publisher=Barclays|date=21 October 2021))</ref>

==Transport==
[[File:Railway Bridges Over West Street - geograph.org.uk - 933730.jpg|thumb|View of railway bridge on West Street into which a bus crashed into in 1994, killing five people (the foreground bridge's 10' 6" warning sign refers to the lower height of the background bridge)]]  
[[File:Cook Street - geograph.org.uk - 1168615.jpg|thumb|The bridge over Cook Street has been struck by buses on multiple occasions]] 
Tradeston is served by the [[Glasgow Subway]] system at [[West Street subway station|West Street]] and [[Bridge Street subway station|Bridge Street]] stations.

West Street station is the proposed location of a major new rail-subway interchange as part of the [[Crossrail Glasgow]] proposal. The area is traversed by several elevated railway lines, most of which converge to cross the Clyde on the [[Caledonian Railway Bridge]] leading into [[Glasgow Central Station]].

The area was the scene of a tragedy in 1994 when a double-decker bus carrying a group of [[Girl Guides]] from the city's [[Drumchapel]] district crashed into one of the low rail bridges crossing West Street immediately adjacent to the subway station (the driver was unfamiliar with the route and was being led by a guide leader in a car); two 10-year-old girls, an 11-year-old girl and two adult supervisors were killed in the incident and 15 other children injured, six of them seriously.<ref>[https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12670808.bus-crash-toll-rises-to-five-as-girl-dies/ Bus crash toll rises to five as girl dies], The Herald, 28 September 1994</ref><ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/anger-at-verdict-over-guides-death-crash-1612218.html Anger at verdict over Guides death crash], The Independent, 22 March 1995</ref><ref>[https://www.thefreelibrary.com/I+STILL+BLAME+MYSELF+FOR+CATH%27S+DEATH%3B+TORMENTED%3A+BUS+CRASH+VICTIM%27S...-a060944601 I still blame myself for Cath's death | Tormented bus crash victim's mum tells court of agony], Daily Record, 21 October 1998, via thefreelibrary</ref><ref>[https://www.clydebankpost.co.uk/news/13942273.drumchapel-girl-guides-tragedy-remembered-20-years-on/ Drumchapel Girl Guides tragedy remembered 20 years on], Clydebank Post, 24 September 2014</ref><ref>[https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/search-judgments/judgment?id=ab2a87a6-8980-69d2-b500-ff0000d74aa7 Judgement | Joseph Munro McKnight and Mrs Joan McKnight v.

== Industry ==
Tradeston was the site of another tragedy in 1872 when the [[Tradeston Flour Mills explosion|Tradeston Flour Mills exploded]] killing 18 people who worked at the mills and people who worked or lived in surrounding buildings, and starting a fire that threatened [[Bridge Street railway station]] and ships docked on the River Clyde.
