Lecture: ‘Glasgow 1955 + 55 Project’
Speaker: Tom Docherty
In 1955, several Glasgow camera clubs undertook a photographic survey of the city.

In the course of carrying out this work throughout 2010, Queen’s Park members tried to record as many aspects as possible depicting Glasgow in 2010 to feature in an exhibition to show the comparison between Glasgow in 1955 and 55 years later. We welcome Tom to the club.
