In partnership with Scottish Screen Archive, The Lighthouse presents a specially selected collection of documentary and amateur films about the River Clyde and its connection with the people of Glasgow all made between 1912 and 1971. From its rich industrial heritage to its importance in the leisure activities of Glaswegians, the exhibition tells a fascinating story of Glasgow’s great river and what it has meant to its people.
As a part of the exhibition The Lighthouse is inviting you to share your stories about The Clyde. Upload your memories and become part of the exhibition! Did you work in the shipyards or take your holidays ‘Doon the Watter’? Have you enjoyed a recent trip on the Clyde or do you have an opinion about recent regeneration projects? We want to hear from you. Upload you memories, stories and photos at Story-Box
