A somewhat thoughtless comment in a recent thread moved me to get up and pay a visit to Daldowie Crematorium today.
Interesting to see the placed closed and inactive, and being there as a visitor rather than user. I'd never had the opportunity to see round the back before, and was surprised to see the extent of the glade to the rear and the fact that it is open to the river Clyde. Bit different from reading old gravestones, but there was a reminder of Piper Alpha.
The buildings are worth a look when the place is deserted, as they and their fittings are in original condition, only mod has been the paintong of some glass to stop outside eyes looking in, probably office areas.
Need to wander back round and look for the odd spots mentioned in here.
Shame it's a crem, I like the architecture and style with the domes.
Was amazed to see plod arrive in a panda car and talk to visitors who were still in their cars. Almost tempted to go back and ask them what they were asked. Maybe checking for ID cards.
