The Storm That Saved a City : BBC iPlayer
Looking for something to watch on the BBC iPlayer? Then I would really recommend that you watch The Storm That Saved a City.
On 15 January 1968, thousands of homes were damaged when 100-miles-an-hour winds tore through the central belt. Twenty people lost their lives amid devastating scenes. But the storm shook up Scotland’s biggest city in another way, too. It inspired a rethink about Glasgow’s tenements. For 100 years, the city had been destroying unfit houses for new ones – but it wasn’t solving the problem. It took the storm, a group of young architects and some strong-willed residents to save their city from the bulldozer. And it brought forward the transformation of Glasgow – from Britain’s biggest slum to the cultural capital of Europe.
I know this is a bit sad, but watching my, home City of Glasgow, turn into one of the best City’s in the world, had me in had me in tears! I am not joking, it really did!
Love Glasgow! Best City in the UK!
This is the only photo I took, while Neil and myself were in Glasgow today! I can’t believe how much the travelator between Buchanan Street subway station and Queen Street railway station has changed!
Happy 121st birthday to the Glasgow Subway?
Happy 121st birthday to the Glasgow Subway!?
My first EVER wetsuit!
Yep, I’ve still got my first ever wetsuit, which is a O’Neill Hammer Spring Suit. Which I got from the O’Neill shop in Buchanan Galleries, in Glasgow. The shop, has long gone. But the memories of getting it have not! Till this day, it’s the only wetsuit, I’ve got it person! All the others, I’ve got on-line! I still remember picking it up and going to till to pay for it!
If it had not been for that wetsuit, then my now “famous” Wetsuitlads website, may never have started!
