There were to be Ohomes fit for heroesą in post-war Britain, but
for Glaswegians returning to their tenement slums the optimism born
of victory bore little resemblance to reality. There was much work
to do and Glasgow rose to the challenge. Tower blocks replaced
tenements, new suburbs were developed and the city was ringed with
new roads and motorways. The car replaced the tram and the
bulldozer reigned supreme. Auld Glasgow (post-war) comprises a
fascinating collection of cine films held by Scottish Film and
Television Archive taking us back through the memories of a rapidly
changing city. Presented by David Waterton-Anderson Running time:
