A lone survivor on Maryhill Road. Between the 1950s and 1980s over 100,000 traditional sandstone tenements were demolished across Glasgow. This was almost 60% of the entire housing stock. While many of those tenements which survived are still standing half a century later, much of the new housing built to replace them have, themselves, since been demolished due to problems with dampness, the short lifespan of the materials used to build them and poor design choices.
