Jeff Torrington Posted on May 16th
Born on Hogmanay 1935, Jeff Torrington grew up in Glasgow’s iconic area of
old-time tenement deprivation, the Gorbals, and worked in the Linwood car
manufacturing plant, the home of a symbol of the new era coming into being,
the 1960s Hillman Imp. Torrington contracted tuberculosis at the age of 13
and while recuperating in a Govan sanatorium became a voracious reader
(teaching himself French to read Camus and Sartre), and also became a
humanist.
