I’ve always had a passion for architecture, especially that of the industrial sort. Having been brought up in a Clydeside town, I have always been aware of how important these structures once were. A few years ago I invested in a copy of The Industrial Archeology of Glasgow by John Hume, it has turned out to be an invaluable source for locating interesting buildings and structures that are often hidden away, perhaps derelict and long forgotten of their initial purpose.

Such was my interest this subject, I decided to begin a photographic record of the buildings contained in the book, this has proved to be an ongoing project, often ending in disappointment when one finds that a building has been demolished, but also a feeling of satisfaction when a structure has been saved from the infamous Glasgow Corporation wreckers ball.

The purpose of this blog is to share the photographs I have taken, and hopefully to inspire others to look around at the marvellous industrial structures the city of Glasgow has in it’s midst. I will be updating this blog on a regular basis, so please make sure you check out the recent posts section.
