Glasgow By Tram

Perhaps best known for his extensive body of work on industrial archaeology, in this book, John Hume shares the photographs he took himself of Glasgow trams when the network of routes was contracting. Born in a tenement flat in Clarkston Road in February 1939, he could see three tram services running outside as he grew up. From the mid-1950s, John used both trams and his bicycle to explore the network and began photographing the trams firstly with his pre-war Brownie Box Camera, then from 1960 with a 35mm camera. Time was short, as only 18 months later, the Last Tram Procession took place.
