The Great Wall

The Great Wall Chinese takeaway is tucked into Sword Street, one of the shorter residential thoroughfares that run north off Alexandra Parade in Dennistoun. The kitchen serves a Cantonese-style menu of fried rice, noodle dishes, soups, and the standard mixed starters that form the backbone of the neighbourhood Chinese takeaway trade. Sword Street's position between Alexandra Parade and Duke Street places The Great Wall within easy walking distance of the dense Victorian tenement blocks that make Dennistoun one of Glasgow's most architecturally consistent inner-city neighbourhoods. The local directory at dennistoun.co.uk lists a related Chinese takeaway at the same address under the name The Winners, suggesting the business may have traded under more than one identity over the years.
