The last 20 years have saw daily life for Glaswegians change drastically - from advances in technology, to massive changes in the urban environment - we wanted to look back at how different the city really is.
Culturally, Glasgow has always geld on to the one thing it’s always had, it’s character (and characters), there’s a real soul to our city that isn’t really matched anywhere else.
We put together 16 old pictures from Glasgow in 2004 -take a look below!
1. Barlanark (2004)
An unidentified man walks by Barlanark. At the time, Barlanark ahad been identified in a survey as officially being the most deprived area of Scotland. The study measures deprivation by health, housing, income, unemployment and education, and whilst Barlanark topped the scale of multiple deprivation, the city of Glasgow housed 17 of the 20 most deprived areas.
2. Charles meets Glaswegian WW2 veterans (2004)
