Yesterday I got asked to do some research on the industrial history of the West End of Glasgow. Very different for me to be asked to work with professional reporters who have been writing for 30-40 years. Cool the next day when you share a byline on page three of one of major dailies in the country. My neighborhood is full of active and deralict factories and mills. Shipbuilding is the most prominent of the graveyards, but also the only surving industry around. My 'uncle' Frankie used to be the head of warship construction at with a firm that has a yard about 5 minutes from my flat on the River Clyde. To get in the mood for a little research, I thought I would get a little closer to the ships and cranes. Off to the library, err, newsroom.
