Tenements at Partick Cross. **Partick Cross** is a major road junction in [Partick](/source/Partick), in the west end of the city of [Glasgow](/source/Glasgow), Scotland.[1] The junction is the meeting point of Dumbarton Road, [Byres Road](/source/Byres_Road), Partick Bridge Street and Coopers Well Street. ## History Riots took place on the centenary of [Daniel O'Connell](/source/Daniel_O'Connell)'s birth on 6 August 1875. The Irish immigrants decided to celebrate with a march and the locals rose up in protest.
