I believe soon to be vacant high-rise buildings should be turned over for affordable students accommodation. maintained by both university and students. A win win, taking pressure of families that would normally worrie about their collage going childrens accommodation away from home.The generating footfall for local businesses and shops standard of living goes up drawing people to the area✌️☘️

I used to live in Royston, not that far from the Red Road Flats. On a clear day, it was easy to see them from my front steps. My paternal grandmother lived in the infamous Queen Elizabeth Square flats in the Gorbals.

Lived in 63 Petershill Dr 30 th floor from 1968 till 1979, moved there when I was 8. Absolutely brilliant place to grow up. Don’t listen to some of the nonsense that is played out here.

Is this where small faces was filmed?

I stayed in the 213 block, when my son was born we had not long moved in, we didn't have a fridge yet so to celebrate his birth I got some beers and put water in his bathtub and got ice from the guy next door, it was a wild night with the wind and being 22 floors up the water in the bathtub was swaying from side to side like being on a boat, the views of all over Glasgow was amazing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

I am always at a loss as to why they call these dumps houses when in actual fact they are flats NOT houses, even Barlinnie looks better. I guess they figure is just Glasgow theyll be satisfied with anything since they dont know any better. Sad really.........Beruit, or Bangladesh.

"Red Road' Such a Scottish Accent.

2:25 OLD LASS LOOKS LIKE HER OFF THROW MAMMA OFF THE TRAIN AND THE GOONIES WERE,S SLOTH? HEY YOU GUUUUYS

The background noise is drowning out the reporters voice and we can barely hear the reporter as it is.

The wee lady interviewed looked like Ena Sharples

I used to pass these flats regularly i found them interesting. And remember these were top notch housing in the 60s.. 50 years now there gone how many new build homes with timber kits will last 50 years they should of spent money fixing these

Horrible buildings.

I remember driving past these around 2006, the shear size was both imposing and slightly intimidating. Gone, but probably never forgotten. Certainly by thr local community.

Typical flats being given to migrants and I Bett they wasn't happy

A miss Red road a had nae intensions of leaving had no choice a miss having a veranda tho 😢

Sadly the site has still not been cleaned and people are in dire need of housing

And a Russian family jumped from the window 😥

Pure nostalgia and there is nothing wrong in that, but these were ill conceived monstrosities. Communities will form anywhere and it would have been cheaper to do up those old tenements which (if they still existed) would now be posh flats for the middle classes, as is the case in London.

not for human consumption

Bitter-sweet memories for those who lived there I’m guessing.

A fascinating insight into a once grand estate, that very sadly fell from grace, as the "Realities of these" high rise estates were evident. Thanks for making this. 👍

In the USA. Where do People live? In bungalows? The problem it is not high rise. It's the animals living on it.

What a dreadful existence. Architects and town planners should be ashamed.

It’s a set of high rise flats calm doon do one in kennishead flats that’s a buzz when your onit total crime scene

I was taken there in 1966....who said World Cup 🖕

Glasgow City Council took £5 million per year from the Home Office to house the asylum seekers. They placed everyone who hated each other there Serbs, Croats, Albanians etc etc. Recipe for disaster......

A great place to grow up. Full of adventure.....

Fires in the rubbish chutes. That was always magic, smoke everywhere 🤣

Let's talk about what else came out windows, other than humans, used nappies, sanitary towels, bottles, tellies, plastic bags full of water....the list is endless. You had to move fast and zig zag to stay safe 🤣

Crox and Pandy Anderson. If you know, you know....

I was raised in these flats. Nobody ever queued for the lifts to go to work in the morning. Why not ? There were only four flats to a floor i.e. level. If the lift didn't arrive quickly people used to walk down the stairs.....GRINGO !!!!!

Was born in ma wee aunty tina house in red row flats last wee women in they flat's memories from they flat's not all bad

Too bad , I'm French but I wanted to see them by myself , after the movie Red Road. None left ? It seems Glasgow, Port Glasgow had less inhabitants.

Can we just take a moment to remember the “White Mice”. The men who unknowingly while building these flats were exposed to deadly asbestos & killed them. Their families still fight for justice. Glasgow Remembers 🙏🏻

Concrete and dog shit these planners are so pathetic

It was some view and was really handy for Glasgow. Wasn't that bad. The flats were quite nice when I lived there. Only bad thing was all the pigeons and pigeon shit. I remember before I moved in thinking it will be nice at night sitting in the veranda and looking out at the lights etc. But this was before I realised how unhygienic it would be to sit out there. Also had wire so the pigeons couldn't get in but somehow they always did. I suppose a lot has happened since I lived there. Remember my crazy dad decorating the hall after I had a fire and mum and dad coming to visit me. My dad is gone now. Also many other people since then. I had no idea was going to miss living there so much. But for sure the missing living there has definitely a lot to do with how much better it was than it is now without certain family members. I suppose i just miss my dad and some other people as well as my view out my window. Was super clean this place when I lived there. But they let the place go. I reckon they knew wuite a long time in advance that they were coming down so the council stopped cleaning the place and didnt bother. As I went back to visit the flats to take some photos and reminisce several years after I moved out and litterelly had a tear in my eye how bad the place looked since I lived there. Even the wee housing office where I remember going to talk to the housing officer (with my mum and dad) and viewing the flat, then getting my keys was like a bomb site. Had plants and everything growing out of it. The kwik save was good too. Miss that as well. Even my neighbour in a way. I think like a lot of things don't realise how lucky we were back then. Now the world has turned to shit.

Watching those monstrosities demolished, was the best thing ever to happen to them! Horrible!

I lived for 2 years in a high rise flat in Hillbrow, Johannesburg, and never met my neighbours. Loneliest time of my life. Cities are depressing enough without the hideous high rise buildings painted dark grey and depressing. No wonder there are so many ssuicude in big ccitie.

SCOTLAND HOUSING SCHEMES ARE SOME OF THE WORST POVERTY IN EUROPE!!! BUT BEST PEOPLE AND THE MOST REAL PEOPLE ON EARTH!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Does anyone know if jean mgeoch is still alive?

communist living

2022/2023 update: the place where the buildings used to be is now a plain gravel field.

Immigrants destroyed England and Europe. Nothing European about it anymore

so sad, Glasgow's skyline got a little more depressing from my fav hill that day, and oh my, how time is flying!! 10 years, wow.

There’s millions of homeless in this country and they’re just demolishing them it’s a disgrace!

This is brilliant, thanks for this insight.

Third world housing for a third world country - thanks God UK is out of the EU - we do not need these wannabes - let them stay on their cramped island fantasizing about when they were an empire.

The saddest part was James Cordon was not in them when they came down.
