Glasgow Red Road Estate Flats



We were sent this image which features as part of a photo exhibition about life on Glasgow's Red Road Estate.

Currently C&D Consultancy is working with Safedem on the demolition of the Red Road Flats which once dominated the Glasgow skyline. As the Safedem website explains:

The Red Road flats are iconic for a number of reasons. The multi-storey buildings comprise of between 28-32 floors, are of steel frame construction and have an extremely high level of asbestos containing materials both internally and externally. The Red Road buildings were the largest in Europe at the time of construction in the early 1960's, and remained the largest only until fairly recently.
