Here's a wee curiosity from 1978. Supposedly a local from Peter Keenan's Stable Bar setting off to cycle all the way to Argentina for the World Cup on his bike in 1978. It all feels a bit acted, although I don't immediately recognise the main man. 📷 STV #Glasgow #WorldCup

A tantalising snippet of 35mm footage showing Glasgow Central Station at night time in the 1960s. If you look below the electronic ad screens, you'll see the old manual Caledonian Railway destination boards. 📽️ Kinolibrary #glasgow

Fraser's decorated to the nines, and the famous Lewis's window displays captivating Glasgow youngsters in December 1984. I remember the trip into town every Christmas from Nitshill, and the excitement of walking up Argyle St marveling at Lewis's famous Christmas windows. 🎥 STV

Glasgow's bygone era of mass transit, filmed in September 1961 with just a year to go before the trams would disappear forever. Fantastic scenes of Argyle St, Hope St, and the low rise parade of shops at the corner of the two. 🎥 Duncan White #glasgow #60s #1960s #tram
