WHO remembers the scramble? Horses and carts on Glasgow streets? Surf washing powder and Dandy Tea?
These photographs take us back to Glasgow, 1955, when the summer was so hot, there were reports of melting tarmac.
These images of Glasgow have been recorded not just in official statistics or in people’s memories, but in a remarkable photographic survey carried out by the city’s camera clubs and now part of Glasgow Museums’ collection.
The idea for a citywide photographic survey began as a discussion after one of Partick Camera Club’s weekly meetings.
Under the leadership of Adam Stevens, Partick Camera Club’s energetic president, it soon blossomed into a full-scale project involving ten of Glasgow’s camera clubs with 86 amateur photographers, and resulted in 600 photographic prints that record all aspects of Glasgow life.
