  • I was thinking that the Arthur Street is technically Busby not Clarkston! Hopefully the vandalism wont lead to murders in the area like the 1982 murder of Robert Howie.

  • [https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12731441.dredging-the-clyde/](https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12731441.dredging-the-clyde/) The perspicacity and industry of our forefathers enabled them to adapt and use the insignificant river Clyde with its tidal ebb and flow, and create a worthy city out of a minor market town. They were well aware, as we should be now, that the Clyde has but one maker. A recent news item informed us that the modest sized destroyer, HMS Glasgow, was unable to berth because of silting up of the river bed as far downstream as Yorkhill Quay, which is almost opposite the Govan Dry Docs **Glasgow Green was regularly transformed into a saltwater lake by the** **high spring tides.** One might wonder whether the present apathetic attitude to dredging and waterfront maintenance will result in an experience similar to that which confronted Londoners a decade ago. The enormously expensive Thames Tidal Barrier had to be constructed to protect the city's infrastructure -- and the cost of operating a few Clyde dredgers would pale into insignificance against the maintenance alone of the barrier. Unfortunately heritage conservation does not have the visually artistic appeal of an immense aluminium TV pylon in St Enoch's Square but, as the song says, we will only ever learn from the past. by vhsarchives (Wed 11th Mar 2020 3:55pm)
