Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Here is my 30 minute + video of the penthouses with other bits mixed in to show how they would have looked before! Enjoy!

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

So guys, who has saw the horrid (or lovely depending on what side of the wall you are from) Royal Blue colour the centre is being painted?

It absolutely destroys the 60s character of the beige and brown.

As a firm supporter of Phase 1s retention and preservation/renovation, I am devastated.

Re: Harry Ramsden's Outdoor Play Area

I appreciate the reviews of the food and service but I'm really looking for photographs of the place guys ::): . To be honest, when I last went about 4-5 years ago I really liked the fish and chips and service was very quick. It's not the best looking place and clearly run down and hasn't changed si...

Harry Ramsden's Outdoor Play Area

This is an absolute long shot, but as a wean it always fascinated me the once or twice I managed to get out in the quickly derelict Harry Ramsden's play area. As the large snake slide could be seen from the swooping Kingston Bridge bend, it was always part of my memories growing up. I have some very...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Re joining this topic we think on the same wavelength AP72 I have some images of the connecting walkways that took you to the ASDA/Woolworths site but not of the actual building itself. Just the walkways. There is a new page on Facebook (I don't think you need to have an account to view it) dedicate...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Copcutt was a visionary, from the little excerpts we have of him post-Cumbernauld, you could tell that he blames its overall failure on the fact that he seen Cumbernauld as a 10 piece jigsaw with only the edge pieces in place. Even if he had his way though, I doubt Cumbernauld would see appreciation...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Hi mate. It was due to a fire and it was totally damaged beyond repair. 'Everything centres on the centre itself' is the quote from Magnusson. The entire vision of Copcutt, was that everything would be under one roof. The centre was initially to stretch half a mile...though as my short video reveals...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Had a look at the linked gallery. I'm sure I've seen it before but the size of those pictures is terrible.

Added the guy on Facebook in the hope he has bigger versions but just doesn't have enough webspace to but the larger ones up!

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Hello everyone. It's been a while. Loved seeing those new shots on Flickr ,again stirring my want to see the centre in it's entirety and original form. I have recently checked the Scottish Screen Archive with a view to purchasing Cumbernauld: Town for Tommorrow but have discovered they now actually ...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

It still puzzles me, the area of buildings underneath the bit on the stilt. The red brick construction seems completely out of place with all the concrete, I was discussing earlier in the thread if these buildings were original but indeed they seem to be. Still can't imagine what it must have been l...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Another thing that interests me is that portions of the centre were originally outdoors, such as the ramp immediately outside the library, as can be seen in this picture: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jMhRWlzJDVE/TTmNQP-DWDI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/e2O74gViFrY/s1600/cum2.jpg Also, the bank and book shop were all on...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

I found a gallery of images of the place taken in 1968 by a Norwegian student of the time: This appears to be level 3, further down from the library! Look at the very end of the corridor and you can see it was originally outdoors, the space outside the library: http://www.glasgowarchitecture.co.uk/i...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

Isn't the whole point of this forum to discuss "hidden" Glasgow? It's intriguing to see the corridors and apartments if they are still there, which we don't know seeing as we can't get up, and imagine in the mid 50's when the first tenants would have moved into them thinking they were real...

Re: Hidden Cumbernauld.

:)! Yes well here we go, I've only managed to name and describe the first half before losing the will to live as it's tedious trying to describe it all. Hope people 'enjoy' looking at this, in a sick sort of way. I haven't been in ages as you can see from the date stamps on the pictures, looking at ...
