Walk through the decades as shopping centre photo exhibition marks East Kilbride's 75th anniversary

East Kilbride town centre is giving shoppers the opportunity to take a step back in time as East Kilbride celebrates 75 years as a new town.

Through 75 carefully selected images, EK Through the Decades gives a fascinating glimpse of the evolution of the town with a range of photographs showcasing everything from the construction of the award-winning Dollan Baths and St Brides RC Church, to the opening of many of the town’s acclaimed tourist attractions - and even the burying of a time capsule in the Plaza Mall.

Although the new town was designated in May 1947, EK’s history stretches back centuries, with the photo exhibition featuring some of the original landmarks and buildings that still exist in the town today.
