Comprehensive redevelopment in Glasgow's Gorbals district in the 1960s and1970s, showing slum clearance and the new high rise flats which replaced many of the tenements. At the back of the tenements you can see the additional brick-built toilet block which gave one communal toilet per landing. Previously, the tenements had no inside toilets and residnets had to go to a hut in the back court.
