Product Description
Product Description
"Glasgow from the Air" covers the period from 1930 to 2005 in a series of black and white and colour photographs of almost every part of the city. A large number of the photographs have been drawn from the collection of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland. Others come from the Mitchell Library, and there are also rare Royal Air Force Reconnaisance shots taken during WWII. Descriptive text accompanies the aerial views, along with ground photographs that illustrate key points. The book is divided into eight chapters, with each one covering a different area of the city. The aerial views enable the discovery of surprising links between unconnected areas, as well as revealing large areas of green that we never knew existed. They also give a telling perspective on the impact of new developments, such as the M8 and the Clyde Expressway, which slashed through the city wiping out most of old Townhead, Cowcaddens, Finnieston and Anderson. Spanning 75 years, these incredible photographs clearly highlight the architectural and structural changes that have taken place in Glasgow over the decades.
