The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Simba,

If you want to see more pictures of the area around the Uni that were demolished in those decades, try to get a hold of the book 'A Hillhead Album' by Henry Morton. It's pricey to buy, but you can probably see a copy in the Mitchell Glasgow Room.

At some point in this thread, I read that someone thought that the subway station had been moved when the rail station and subway were brought together in one building. I don't remember that happening, but they did move the rail station from one side of the Dumbarton Road Bridge to the other at that...
