Another great photo of Shuttle Row. An unusual angle from the back. This is the birthplace of explorer David Livingstone, born on the top floor to the right in 1813. In this photo from the 1940’s, young trees have been planted on the slopes, which today are now much, much taller! Shuttle Row was renovated […]
Taken from the Bothwell side of the River Clyde, this photo (i think) dates from the 1940’s and looks over to Blantyre to Shuttle Row. This is the lower part of that building (the taller 3 storey part out the photo to the right). This is the back of the building and you can just […]
Now here’s a bit of a mystery. This is an old view of Shuttle Row down at the Village, which you may know in 1813 was the birthplace of Explorer, David Livingstone. The date of the picture is unknown, but thought to be just before the museum was renovated (1920s). Now, if you look very […]
Looking through some more photos. This one is a cracker! Nice and clear and detailed and is of course, the David Livingstone Centre. Perhaps taken in the 1940’s, judging by the car and styles. Now rebranded as David Livingstone Birthplace and currently undergoing renovation, I’m looking forward to this re-opening and once again being a […]
Here’s a great photo you may not have seen before. The year is 1951, almost 70 years ago. The back of Shuttle Row at the Village got an overhaul with the slope regraded and site cleared, with a new retaining wall built. Workmen were actually doing this at the time of the photo. It’s an […]
This photo from the 1930s is of course Shuttle Row, Low Blantyre and in particular the very room where famous explorer David Livingstone was born in 1813. It’s a busy photo and there’s more than a hint of trying to cram many museum artefacts into the small space, something which happened for decades afterwards too. […]
I’d never seen this photo before until recently. Shuttle Row, the birthplace of David Livingstone. The installation of the turnstyles would suggest its after 1929 when the museum opened. The vehicle perhaps from the 1930s or 40s. Looks like it needs a whitewash too. The picture is full of character, the car certainly helping this […]
