This site is not about what Springburn has become; it is about what it once was. However, history is only ever understood by the ability to compare and contrast. This section has photos mainly although not exclusively, taken by Norrie from the mid 90s to the present and covers what remains of most parts of the district we hear so much of in the forums.

I propose a little test for you expats. Can you still identify these streets in their isolation? If so, please type in their locations above each picture. There are many more to come, please note they are copyrighted. Thanks to NMc
