Old Glasgow 1

Glasgow in the past from old photographs. Music by 'The Proclaimers'

[@caucasianbulldog6057]

Born in Glasgow in the 1950's but now living in Edinburgh. This took me back and filled my heart with pride and joy, especially thinking of all the older generations who have now left us.

[@glasgow1234]

I have always longed to go back in time to when Glasgow was like this..... My Dream

[@awb17a]

Well that was great. I am a Glesga man born and bred - love this city - though looking at the auld days makes me feel a wee bit sad - though very proud. Thanks for posting....

[@HelenCelticGhirl]

Such Great Memories

[@dm7ify]

So much familiar stuff in there and so much lost. Glasgow needs to stop destroying its old beautiful buildings.

[@mjm290853]

Far too late for that sentiment, there is not a solitary scheme, social housing project call it what you will that you could view these days, that would give anyone hope, apart from specific areas , it was an embarrassing shithole way back in the 50s, and apart from a pitiful attempt to beautify the riverside, is still a shithole some nearly 70 years later

[@barbara1904]

Michael McCarter You obviosly don't know what your talking about. Like all cities including Edinburgh it has its shit holes. The Bruce report flattened some beautiful buildings that kust needed renovated. The Bruce project was a failure. They did not finish what they started and left Glasgow disjointed. I'm guessing your not Scottish and only come to Glasgow to visit the shit hole football parks/areas.

[@ZooScott]

Barbara 1 ☠ Architectural Vandalism , I was there when they demolished the St Enoch Hotel and the last of the station behind it .

[@whirlingtamthebam]

Paddy, we tend to look at the past through 'rose-tinted spectacles'. Times were tough for many people then, as they are now. All the best.

[@janeyd5280]

Back when Glasgow was a city to be proud of, God knows what the people back then would think of the absolute Cesspit it is now. It’s sad.

Hi Lee, this is "My Act of Remembrance" by The Proc;laimers from their "Persvere" album.

[@molecatcher3383]

Too many beautiful old buildings were torn down by "modernist" town planners. Glasgow had a very special character that came from it's architecture.

[@whirlingtamthebam]

Thanks Keepituppy. song is "My Act of Remebrance" by The Proclimers.

[@whirlingtamthebam]

Cheers PCC.

[@tigerbricks]
