- We recently digitised photos from an extensive aerial survey of #Glasgow undertaken in May 1963. Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing images & asking you to assist with us in identifying the locations! 🧐 Here's the first. Where is this? Has much changed since it was taken?
- Construction of the Charing Cross section of the #M8 as seen in 1971. We are looking eastwards, with Spiers Wharf and the Great Western Road overbridge visible in the background. #Glasgow #History #archives #Scotland #CivilEngineering @74frankfurt @GC_Archives @OldGlasgowPics
- This east facing aerial shot, taken around 1975, illustrates the immense changes underway across the city at the time. The Clydeside Expressway (seen left) was connected to the Kingston Bridge in 1973. What features stand out here? #KingstonBridge50 #Glasgow #1970s
