During
the early 1960s the Society’s present secretary took a very large number of
photographs of the Kirkintilloch/Lenzie area. His main purpose was to record
local transport services, especially the declining railway network, the
replacement of steam on the railways by diesel haulage, the disappearance of
the Lawson branding on local buses, and the last years of the Forth & Clyde
Canal before its 1962 closure. However, he also photographed many other local
subjects, including street scenes. This year he has been re-visiting many of
the sites to take 50-year equivalent views. Both old and new will be presented
in this talk.
