Everything changes, nothing stays the same - and here in Glasgow that couldn’t be more true for Sauchiehall Street.
One of the main shopping streets in the city centre, the 1.5 mile street has changed dramatically over the last two decades. With a sharp increase in online shopping and many retailers making changes to the way they operate, high street shopping isn’t quite what it used to be - and can be seen in our snaps of Sauchiehall Street from the early ‘00s.
In January, Glasgow City Council said the decline of Sauchiehall Street was due to ‘major changes in retailing’ which were accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This came after it was revealed that 37 of the buildings on the street lay unoccupied.
