Publisher's Synopsis
Volume 2 could be dubbed 'The Fall of the Gorbals' and covers the post-war period when the area was comprehensively 'redeveloped' by town planners (i.e. demolished) and then replaced with award-winning modern architecture much of which has since been demolished because although it won awards for looks it was hopeless to live in. The book describes Gorbals trajectory through this unfortunate and unhappy period and again is rammed full of old photographs, many now being published for the first time.
