The Hidden Glasgow Forums

those buildings in mountblow i remember being in very poor condition even as far back as the early 90s.

family in Dalmuir and both parents from Clydebank, my first house was in Faifley, so a regular visitor.

was through there a few weeks ago, amazing how much has changed in just a few years.

As it ages you can now view a lot of stuff that no longer exists on Google's Street View, such as the Dumbarton Road buildings I posted about previously.



Most of the material seems to have been shot in 2009 and I guess for a few years to come this is how it'll look. Nice quality too, unike a lot of Street View's coverage of Japan.

Replacement Flats on Dumbarton Road, Dalmuir

yaay!

I've waited a long time for this thread to come back to life.

certainly all change at that part.

is there any plans to do anything with the land the chapel that was knocked down years ago ?

no,the loretto church site has had no takers as yet.

strange they seemed in a hurry to demolish it, yet some buildings lie in a desperate state for years before demolishing.

Not buildings this time. Forgot I'd shot these trees in Dalmuir Park just before Christmas during the big freeze in 2010.



Every one of them had just been chopped down last time I was back there 5 months ago, they lay in a huge pile nearby. I presume it was because they were diseased?

toby,clydewaterfront.com is the place for dalmuir park news.

Thanks. It was a good afternoon's crump through the snow, from The Field in Mountblow to Dalmuir Park and back again.


The Field


Overton Golf Course







The unusual weather and winter Scottish light fleetingly transformed an all to familiar lanscape into something special.






Dalmuir Park






Back over the golf course




Clyde Valley from Melbourne Avenue Mountblow, Christmas Eve 2010

Lovely shots Toby.

great stuff,im hoping to get a round of golf there before the winter greens go on.

Looks like the white hooses really are now finally on the way out. I didn't see any of them still inhabited last month,



and all buildings have yellow demolition signs on them.

being vandalised /torched on a far too regular basis to make worthwhile repairs.
