Spent most of 1988 building then taking apart features at the Garden Festival
Got issued with a pass and visited it regularly,
I was along with the head of safety at the closing ceremony and considering the amount of visitors it had he was saying that there was few accidents. He had just said that when there was a bigger bang than usual, turned out to be one of the guys involved in the display being injured
The Clydesdale Tower was taken to Rhyll and re-erected, as far as I know it is still there
Don't know were the "sculpture" that was on the big davit at Govan Town Hall ended up
Bells Bridge was built by John Youngs (Kelvinhaugh) .. Bubbly's at their Scotstoun yard and carried down the river by the floating crane Mersey Mammoth.
The British Steel bridge that carried the railway line across the entrance to Pacific Quay had buoyancy tanks that allowed it to be moved by tugs at high tide to allow boats to enter leave the basin. Again built by Youngs at Scotstoun and floated down river
Coca Cola Fun Ride went down to England as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Have a few photographs taken during this period on Flicker
