The same spot in 2020. The Gallowgate had its guts ripped out in the 1970s to make way for the eastern flank of the M8, that was ultimately never built. It's time to rebuild the high quality urban tenement blocks this area once had and redensify the population, bringing vibrancy. https://twitter.com/GC_Archives/status/1267501208182427649
Great thread by @OssianLore covering the demise of the Gallowgate in more detail. https://twitter.com/OssianLore/status/999343706351292416?s=19
Realised my orientation was off in the above photo. The actual spot was here, at the corner of Molindinar St and Gallowgate, looking east. Where I thought I was looked like the black & white image. The stump tenement shops lasted until 2014, when they were cleared for the park.
