A fascinating collection of aerial photographs of the city, spanning the years from 1930 to 2015
Featuring photographs from the collection of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, the Mitchell Library, as well as rare Royal Air Force Reconnaissance shots taken during WWII, this is a fascinating view of Glasgow. The aerial views enable the discovery of surprising links between unconnected areas, as well as revealing large areas of green that we never knew existed. They also give a telling perspective on the impact of new developments, such as the M8 and the Clyde Expressway, which slashed through the city wiping out most of old Townhead, Cowcaddens, Finnieston and Anderson. Spanning over 80 years, these incredible photographs clearly highlight the architectural and structural changes that have taken place in Glasgow over the decades.
