This blue commemorative plaque records: Mary Barbour (22nd February 1875 - 2nd April 1958). Social reformer, Rent Strike leader, Women's Peace crusader and pioneering woman councillor. "In Govan, Mrs Barbour, a typical working class housewife, became the leader of a movement such had never been seen before. Street meetings, back court meetings, drums, bells, trumpets - every method was used to bring the women out." (William Gallacher, Revolt on the Clyde, 1936). A famous image of the rent strike shows Mrs Barbour's Army and supporters demonstrating outside 10 Hutton Drive, Linthouse.
