All these so called "slum" houses were in fact originally built to highest standards and using the very best materials available. They could have easily been renovated at a fraction of the price the modern "schemes" ended up costing. Their criminal destruction was more to do with destroying the extremely strong community that lived within them
Completely agree, watched them do exactly the same thing in my own town, destroyed communities that had grown together over a century and more.
Glasgow was pretty grim in the 70s, I was only a child, my Dad hustled hard 💜
Makes me think of the book "no mean city" you can imagine the characters
was 7 then , stoninn outside pubs
Don't you mean, Stoned outside the bub 😵☘️
Chicago, "We're a tough and dangerous city!"
Glasgow, "Haud ma Bucky!"
Harhar!
amazing footage!
That's horrific looking living conditions and not all that long ago really. When did these eventually get knocked down?
Thinking of Frank McCourt's writings in the book he wrote titled "Angela's Ashes" on viewing this excellent though somewhat "gloomy" home footage
Old Plantation. That was excellent, great footage.
Was born 74 pitty no audio
Aye adds to the atmosphere 👍
I wonder how it all looked when it was new.
Online the council can furnish the public with all the information they require. encluding drawings and photo's of said buildings. I think the council charge a nomial fee of Two Bob for a copie , it might have gone up to two and six a copie. 😏☘️
