About this audio guide
This guide to Haga in Gothenburg opens in October 1860, as a working family steps into a brand-new flat on Haga Östergata, and follows the anonymous gift of 1856 that made such homes possible. You'll meet the Scottish-born merchant behind it and the conditions that came attached to every tenancy. Best heard standing in front of the low stone houses on Haga Östergata.
