Abandoned Central low level in 1967

They are both very different recollections. The first was stepping off a steam hauled train, and the platform was definitely on the right hand side of the train which was a westbound service going to Maryhill. Abandoned Central low level in 1967. I visited NAS on 3rd and was pleasantly surprised to be allowed to view plans I had thought I’d need to wait another week for.

I’m still sifting through stuff for Vinnie to post up, but for now I can at least answer a question asked earlier in the thread on whether there were sidings in Central Low Level – yes there was. I traced a plan that shows that and much more. I need to respect copyright (fair use) so I will upload only part of the plan – just enough to answer questions that have been asked on the thread. But by far the most impressive is the engineering drawings for the tunnel ventilator – it’s much, much more than a 100 foot tall chimney, and I’m really sorry now that I didn’t get to see it, nor find any photos of the equipment or the buildings housing them, because these drawings only whet the appetite for more, more!!!

Abandoned Central low level in 1967. This subject should interest many Glasgow folks as Iv'e noticed a lot of questions on local forums being asked about the old steam days of the Central Low Level line, closed in 1964 under the Beeching cuts.

Feb 2012Present emotive69, pdixon new explorerAfter seeing a report on here and on our way on a Scottish landscaping trip decided this had to be worth a look, and some muddy beck jumping and climbing and an hour or two later can only say I was left in awe of this very very strange building. Having explored some supposedly dark and evil places this has a real bad feeling all of its own and don’t ask me to explain you just need to spend a little time here and it becomes apparent.St Peters Seminary is now actually on the worlds 100 most endangered sites list and is considered a piece of architectural history, if you can imagine a randomly designed badly made concrete 60s style car park full of training priests in little concrete isolation chambers you will begin to get the picture. The add to this a brutalist design of wrong ways, wonkiness and mazes, and huge concrete plinths. An enjoyable explore even though completely trashed !

Glasgow Botanic Gardens Underground Station March 2011. A visit to another site that has had alot of coverage in the past such as from bikedaft most recently.

Glasgow Botanic Gardens Underground Station March 2011

The station opened in 1896 and the station closed permanently in 1939. The main building to the station burned down in the 70s and there are only small traces to the station from the topside with many people not even aware of its existence.The pictures are stills from a video I made which can be viewed here: view back from along the platform.

Goldberg's Retail store- Glasgow. This report will be a bit vague because it was our first visit to this location and im not sure of the name of the exact building we went in, Its located in the heart of the merchant city in Glasgow. the building next to it is Goldberg's Retail store.

D & W Henderson, Shipbuilders, Glasgow - December 2010. Explored with Dweeb, Rooks and Raddog.A great little building stranded in it's own flattened wasteland.

D & W Henderson, Shipbuilders, Glasgow - December 2010

I was told the reason these and other shipbuilding offices are so grand is because they were fitted out by the same tradesmen that fitted the ships out. Whether that's true or not I can't prove, however it is rather nice... In what was probably once the drawing room, you can see this through the suspended ceiling... and on closer inspection...

I'm going to suggest that where the lighter coloured wood panels are, used to be windows to really flood the room with light. Silent UK – Urban Exploration & Underground Photography.

Exploring the abandoned and forgotten places of Scotland. 2009 was the first year I found myself with genuine free time.

Exploring the abandoned and forgotten places of Scotland.

A mixture of university and working weekend shifts had occupied all my time prior and because of that, I found it hard to find time to pursue any personal interests. My flatmate at the time said something to me one day in early 2009 which has stuck by me ever since “you have a day off, you can do whatever you want and go where-ever you want”. As such, I started going for long walks around the local area, discovering paths, roads and sights I’d never seen before. It also became apparent that former railway lines made for great walks due to their flat nature and the increased chance of bridges cropping up en-route.
