- this time I get into the tallest tower block in Scotland 250 Edgefauld Rd in Springburn in Glasgow a 25 floor tower that the J T got up and I took the lift up to floor 24 and walked up to 25 and showed you the flat layout and then I walked down all 25 floors using the stairs and then walked up all 25 floors so Enjoy Giggity.
I'm Irish from Dublin but I love the tower blocks in Scotland there like wat we have in Ireland ballymun. Mícheáls estate alll gone now love our Scots celtic cousins💙🇮🇪🙏💯
I lived in a tower block at 18 tears old. I hardly got passed the fifth floor that I lived on. it was the fear of heights lol. I remember the lift constantly breaking down, and the thought of some0ne climbing 15 floors with all their shopping, wow. nope.
Yeah my mate who lives in this block says that the right lift constantly breaks down and the floor display in the lifts sometimes says C for all 24 floors even I experienced that glitch myself when I visit my mate good thing he is not high up but yeah even if I don't have a fear of heights I would really crap my pants if I am stuck in the lift 20+ floors up lol.
High rise buildings lacked the open community design element of terraced houses - but a high rise building can be also made "soulless" by the people who live there - this is of course, assuming that their personalities change after living in the new design element of tower blocks.
And of course, thats exactly what happened!
Check the area crime stats before and after high rise buildings were erected in various council areas.
History proves me right.
Regarding the older terraced buildings themselves, the problem with those old terraced houses is that were always damp and notoriously difficult to keep warm.
The new tower blocks were at least clean and warm as long as they were built to very decent specifications.
High rise buildings are not perfect, but they were actually better in some ways than their terraced counterparts.
It all depends on your personal perspective on the social aspects that plague these low income dwellings.
Study the subject a bit more people, and you will all realise that its alot deeper than you think.
I do agree with you but no matter how rundown or grimmy a house and area is, you can do 2 things. The first is to give up and do nothing to make the best of it. The second: make the best of it. At the end it's the people who (can) make the difference, no matter what. I live in a council estate, rundown area with bad houses and poor maintenance by the housing office. But I put some effort to make the best of it and I like my bad house (to a certain degree). While some neighbours only complain and make a mess of theirs and their lifes.....it's the attitude that counts. It's not helping to make a bigger mess....

Agreed.
Thanks for being honest Anne.😊
How did you go all the way up and not even look at the view!
Cause there were workers on the roof
Those lifts take pure ages lol I live in the Townhead flats they also go up to 24 but are much faster even the old lifts we had seemed much faster before we got the new ones, Great video thanks for sharing
i love lifts, i think they're great
@@sallyjoan aye these lifts look in no bad condition they could just be doing with going a bit faster
why, what's the rush?@@freespirit_74
i love the townhead ones mate
2 elevators isn’t enough for 24 floors
And you normally get stuck in one of the lifts 😂👍
Well, the wyndford blocks are
Why would you get stuck?@@paulmcduff1930
It's more than enough.
Fitted duct on that roof 7 years ago 😂😂👌🏻
22 and 42 viewpoint place are both 25 floors too, just up the road from there on balgrayhill rd
My sister lived on the 24 floor at 42 Viewpoint for over 50 years.
Fuck walking up they stairs , I've done it and with carrying bags of messages cos the lifts were out of order at the time, brutal it was 😂
I bet you loved it really.
Ha! I lived in the Balgrayhill Road flats, although only 16 up. Ran out of cigarettes one night during a power cut and had to go down the stairs in the dark. Got my smokes, climbed all the way back up again, stepped into my flat and the lights came back on before I even got the door shut.
JT, what's that terrible sound between 24th and 25th floor, like construction workers are busy to drill.....or is it the plant room going mad?! 😬😳
It was construction work on the heating system in the block I know that cause my best friend stays in this block and he told me what work was being carried out in his block
@@JT-df3yz Oi, I was right then👊😉
Glaagow built over 300 tower blocks, now most have been demolished.
Yeah that is sadly the case now and Glasgow is set to lose another 2 towers in the next few years 305-341 Caledonia Rd real beautiful buildings just being destroyed
Many built are structurally unsafe and hence, demolition rather than retrofit.
Red road was iconic
Sandyhills Park would be a good one for you to do as they are Glasgow's most easterly high rise estate and I think the second tallest after Balgrayhill....
This scottish bloke should do a video analysis on the council estates in London.
Nowadays most whites kids in London speak English with a hybrid Jamaican dialect which is very different from the celtic dialect of English which is spoken by this Scottish presenter.
In the early 2000's, young white kids on council estates in London became JAMAICANISED.
This is when they starting speaking with English with a hybrid Jamaican dialect.
For example, Essex county is the only place in Britain where the cockney dialect/and or accent is still spoken.
TO SUMMARISE:
In the 1980's all the national British companies when through a process called
PRIVATISATION - and then
SIMULTANEOUSLY - all the
NATIONAL - white kids endured a process called
JAMAICANISATION - which did indeed
LEAD - to all the
NATIONAL - white girls on council estates
UNDERGO - a process called Jamaican
INSEMINATION - and thus all the
RESULTING - half cast babies initiated a
NATIONAL - process called
BASTARDISATION.
Remember everyone, that the last point regarding bastardisation is entirely optional, and is not my view but instead is the view of white nationalists.
I have a tower block near me this has 28 floors.
Nice there used to be taller towers nearby to this block called the Red Rd Flats and point blocks were 30 floors high but all the Red Rd Flats have all now been demolished in 2015
@@JT-df3yz ok
Your videos are great. We need more details. What was up the stairs from 25?
The roof
@@JT-df3yz go up if you can.
@@JT-df3yz The helicopter 🚁 pad 🤣
A hell lot of noise anyway, what's that sound+!
@@annemariecandyflip6531 sorting out the new heaters I expect, that's what they pipes you can see through the wee windows are for
Whats test noise the wind or something
Bro, could you check-out those acro-props seen through the glass on the stairwell. What reason have they got props inside a tower block? Floors that weak require propping? Keep wise for defects in these high rises some of never build to last more than a few years.
They are pipes 😂😂😂😂
@@grooney428 aye pipes for the new heaters 👍
Craigmillar court and perfermill court in Edinburgh had to be strengthened. I had one and mind the living room floor had a metal plate in it I lifted it to have a nose one night and there was a bolt under the square steel plate the size of a baby head
@@scottglanv8746 Many 60s and 70s UK tower blocks Reema and Bison built and designed were built off-plan. Result was panels would and did fall off them. The workers was paid bonuses if they built them quick and often they skipped crucial structural fixings - often these prefabricated panels couldn’t be fixed together the tolerances were too great to allow and as all the work was in-house management save money forced the workers to install poorly made concrete panels - knowing that the design of involved additional concrete to seal in those fixing would hide their work or the design flaws from the factory.
The stairway is clear
good vid mate
Hello can u do kennishead or nits hill tower block kennishead is 23 floors and nits hill is 13
What was the flats like to live in kennieshead?
See I knew I could understand another language. Scots english.
It’s the same voice in dalreoch flats 😂 ✌🏻👍
Yep it is
BUT ITS NOT THE 32 GLASGOW TOWER BLOCKS ITS ONLY 25
The Red Road Flats got demolished in 2015 and Glasgow Tower is not really a tower block as such which leaves this being the tallest tower block that is still standing today
Pretty bad elevator installed is! Do NOT go in there again, absolutely unsafe the test in these elevators. Need fixtures properly is safer in the elevator the car is. I'll never this place there before. This one place looks like derelict of the building guess is! 😦
It’s not the tallest in Scotland or even in Glasgow, go to wyndford , maryhill
I have already done 191 Wyndford Rd and that and the other towers are the same height as this block 25 floors
A live in springburn ma schools 2 minutes from there😂
Do Mallaig court in Govan
My friend lives there
That's pretty cool so does my friend that was how I got in and I think the block is an amazing tower but I wish there was a viewing bit so you can get an epic view over the city but other than that it is an amazing tower
Deegetty
Haha LOL
giggity
