The Hidden Glasgow Forums

I'm reading this and video of the demolition has just appeared on on my local television news ! An amazing coincidence but one which, once again, reminds me of my ties with the Glasgow I left, as a ten year old, in December 1960. Thank you, HG, for allowing me to keep in contact with my roots !

Perhaps I didn't look closely enough before my last reply to kristymaclaren but your pictures of the demolition of Invercanny Drive, showing what remains of the other side of Airgold Drive from where I lived, I missed complete...

I'll try this one here !
