Hello there everyone.
My name is Wullie and I'm 27 from Glasgow but now live and work in the North of England as an engineer. Hailing from Garthamlock, then Royston, then Balornock, then Springburn I've been witnessing urban decay all of my life. The only problem is, I've fallen completely into near obsession about it.
The thing with me is stories, watching, learning. For example, who used to work in that old abandoned car dealership just south of Tradeston? What time did they start work, what time did they realise that they might well be closing the doors on the place forever? Did they move on, where did they go. I think everyone here feels the same pull when they look at the half demolished shell of a building or pass it by and realise its become derelict.
I've been on Mr. Zuteks site and spent nearly a weekend there, my favourites being Craigiesomething school, the Strathclyde HQ and the Lorne Hotel. On this site I loved the Graving Docks article and the underground railway stuff. It really fired my imagination and made be feel less like some sad freak who wanted to go off exploring abandoned tower blocks and embarking on hopeless quests to find out where a gouge in a stairwell came from.
Anyway, hello!!!
