- This video follows the demolition of the last tower blocks of Prospecthill Circus on the southside of Glasgow, Scotland.
This has been my longest project so far as I filmed the area at different stages over 5 years to watch the towers being demolished and the brand new neighbourhood being built.
I hope you enjoy this video and remember to give it a like, check out my other videos and subscribe for more.

This area of the circus has been redeveloped into garden style housing there was a great community spirit in the 1970s and and 1980s and some great people
From viewing the areas facebook page the community spirit is there and growing since the redevelopment.
From bad to worse, maybe 3rd redo will do it. Awesome fact about the Sony Bravia commercial, I remember it very well, thanks for the video!
Moved there in 2006 the Sony Bravia flats were still there and covered in paint , I lived in the small flats near the myer path and tbh it wasnt that bad as kid
Crazy... Very cool. Great footage.
I was a postman in Victoria Rd for 19 years, I delivered to the Circus back in the day, what a hell hole it was back then.
My Dad was a manager in the big south for a short time and talks about doing security patrol for the parcel van.
@@AstonishingGlasgow I started in there in 96 at 16 . He may have been before my time in there.
Me and my dad stayed in kennishead block 30 21st floor it was amazing I loved it then we moved down to block 70 13th floor
Jim Kerr from The Simple Minds was buttered and bred here
If you are a Simple Minds fan, I managed to grab this back in 2014 czcams.com/video/LXCdYohE6JU/video.html
Jim Kerr actually lived on Queens Court (24 Crossbank Road) The block used for the Sony Bravia advert he lived on the 11th floor from being 8 years old and moved out when he was 22.
Charlie Burchill lived in the maisonettes next to the flats.
Great footage of the demolish
My m8 and his missus stayed up those flats, until they were made move out, it was a choice between their flat and their dog they chose the dog😉👍🐶
Rip bruno the boxer.... 😢
I used to be the postman for a while there.
Some of the smells from some of the landings in the high rise buildings were horrific.
To this day I have never smelt anything like it again.
You may have known my dad. Was occasionally acting DOM at the big south.
Have you still got your Polo 9n?
Not any more. Replaced it with a Golf.
@@AstonishingGlasgow What was the problem or why did you get rid of it?
Polo was my wifes car and she fancied something a bit newer, that was all. Polo was sold with 12 months MOT and is now somebody's first car.
What's the tune on this video? The one in the first 2 mins,
Good question. I will need to look back into the project but it would have come from the You tube audio library.
@@AstonishingGlasgow cheers for responding. I look forward to any further development.
Thanks for the nudge, I had completely forgotten to look. The first track on the video is New Horizons by Futuremono.
@@AstonishingGlasgow Nice one BT. Appreciated
They should of kept the old circus
Your right the circus is full of white houses now
Toryglen got more Tory
why can't they just blow up
I dont know to be honest. They did blow up the other two towers on the site. It may have been cheaper this way though these towers were closer to the maid Glasgow to London railway line so this may have played a part.
Possibly because it would have presented too great a hazard to surrounding buildings. They will have conducted all sorts of risk assessments and cost/risk/benefit assessments and this will have been seen as the best option.
