Bain St and London Road

This may look bad but the containers are part of adding jobs to the area . A high tech hub or small businesses i think.

Every Bar on Argyle St 1890 's vs 2010's

A while ago i had made a subsection map of the Gorbals/Laurieston/Tradeston area from a similar period showing the concentration of bars. I wanted to do a similar diagram contrasting a larger area of Glasgow. What would become Argyle street seemed like an appropriate choice.
St Enoch in 1890's is a train station in the 2010's it is a shopping centre.

1890's marks are for public houses which i take as being distinct from restaurants and other forms of services but makes exact comparisons impossible. The riverside is very distinct without having to be explicitly drawn.

Play Spot The Difference!!

Mirror ( 1970 )

One of the extras on the BFI rerelease of "That Sinking Feeling" is a short film described as;

Mirror (John Schorstein, 1970, 33 mins): a young writer (Forsyth) searches the streets of Glasgow for his missing girlfriend.

In this shot the main character starts walking towards the camera from the right passing the man on the edge. Camera pans up to a train passing and by the time we are looking left Forsyths character is walking towards the camera again, passing the troubled man just as he climbs the parapet to jump.A wee sprint along the bridge involved.

Great Western Rd ?

George Square. Great shot. Front of the Station visible and no glass shed at the front of the hotel.

Yours for £2 Million. ( or £200k /year if thats too much ).

( ... and there is now a planning application in to make it into a bar/nightclub/restaurant ) The growth of the Arches/Audio/Sub Club/Crystal Palace/Classic Grand/Ivory Blacks/Quarter Gill mega entertainment block continues :-) )
