What Glasgow looked like in the 90s. Did you ever go to this Odeon? Full pictures:
Looking at this image of St Andrew’s Square, on the eastern edge of the city centre, it is hard to remember this part of the city looking so bare and rundown.
St Andrew's Square, which sits close to Glasgow Green, is home to the magnificent 18th-century classical church St Andrew's in the Square. It was built in 1758 by architect Allan Dreghorn and master stonemason Mungo Naismith.The square became a fashionable residence for Glasgow’s well-to-do merchants but eventually, as more moved west, it fell into disrepair.
Of course, the 90s started with Glasgow at the centre of attention, thanks to its year as City of Culture.There was a lot going on, from Pavarotti, Sinatra and The Rolling Stones, to huge theatre and dance events and art exhibitions, including The Ship in the Harland and Wolff Shed; The Big Day, the largest free rock concert ever organised in Scotland; and Call That Singing, a choir of a thousand Glaswegians aged from nine to 90.
