Glasgow in these images was well before my time, but I do find it quite depressing that my generation has missed out on the appreciation of some of Glasgow’s finest architecture - the demolition of St Enoch station was criminal! I was born and bred in Pollokshields in the 90’s and thankfully 98% of the area remains intact, although it’s shameful that many areas like Springburn, Gorbals, Anderston, etc had the hearts of those communities ripped out, all because of poor planning within the Comprehensive Developement Area (CDA) scheme

The Soddom and Gomorrah we have now and that's still to get worse. And to them, it's progress?!! Sorry I only meant to say I agree, lol

Ms eldee I agree. When you look at these old pictures Glasgow was like a mini London. In 1945 there was a Bruce report on the city. Thats why a lot of these lovely buildings were flattened instead of refurbished. But flattened with no real plan with how to replace them and leave it asthetically pleasing. Its left much of Glasgow bitty and unappealing to the eye.

Glasgow was the only city that voluntarily gutted itself and destroyed decades of history. Yes it needed the slums cleared but instead of rebuilding the tenements with modern materials they moved entire populations to the middle of nowhere into huge estates. The splitting of the city with a motorway beggars belief despite how convenient it is. Can you imagine destroying the center of Edinburgh to put a motorway in?
@pwimbledon

To be fair - that the case for most UK cities. They've all been gutted to some degree by 60/70 redevelopment crimes. Edinburgh has probably seen less, for sure, but you only to look at Prince's Street - whole sections of that have been bull dozed. Whole sections of Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, London, Leeds, everywhere. It's not even just the big industrial cities, the rise of the shopping mall has devastated small towns too. People should have been prosecuted for what has been the wholesale destruction of our architectural heritage.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?

Thanks brought back memories of city centre - sadly doesn't seem to be many photos taken by anyone of my neck of the wood, Crosshill/Queens Park but still great to see places I did know including the only shoe shop in Glasgow that sold shoes to fit my size 7 female feet, others only went size 6 - Saxones.

Sauchiehall St is a cowp, Argyll St is a slum, as for Union St! Buchanan St is the only decent street left. People are still magic though.

Thanks for posting this. A great place at a great time. Times were tougher but there was not a constant air of menace. People did not live in fear. They lived in optimism. Some of the scnes from the film "Once Upon a Time in America" remind me of the old tenments, buildings and people of Glasgow.

Yes your right about that vis once upon a while in America , I remember visiting Chicago some years ago and it felt a lot like Glasgow of old only the streets where wider but the architecture was the same same old grimy buildings . There’s such a spirit of Glasgow ,that you feel when you go back loved the pictures ,it’s weird looking at them and remembering that people where happy and contented in spite of the conditions . Thank you

6.06 Is Camperdown Street with Oakbank primary school on the right, the polis station was across the street. I went there from 1958 till 1964. At 7.03 is Rockville school, my Mother went there just prior to the second world war. Thanks for the memories right enough.

Likely well before school class pictures I am sure, too bad. Perhaps your Granny and my Mother sat at the same desk quite a few years apart. No carving of initials onto the desktops then to be sure!

Some needed to come down, of course. Many if not most just needed a good clean and some in-door plumbing.
