The Lost Photos of Glasgow (1980) – Raymond Depardon’s Forgotten Masterpiece #glasgow #1980s

Forty years ago, celebrated French photographer Raymond Depardon travelled to Glasgow on assignment for The Sunday Times Magazine. What he captured—raw, emotional, and unfiltered—was a side of the city few dared to document. But his photographs were never published. For more than three decades, they sat unseen in his archives… until their rediscovery in 2016. This video tells the remarkable story behind Depardon’s once-lost images: 👉 life in Glasgow’s poorest districts in 1980 👉 derelict tenements and urban decay 👉 the warmth and resilience of the people 👉 how an outsider’s eye preserved a version of Glasgow that has now vanished Using Depardon’s powerful black-and-white photographs, this video offers a haunting glimpse into a city on the edge of change—its struggles, its humanity, and its unforgettable atmosphere. If you enjoy documentary storytelling, hidden history, old photography, or lost urban archives, this is a journey into the past you won’t want to miss. #Glasgow #GlasgowHistory #RaymondDepardon #StreetPhotography #1980s #UrbanHistory #Documentary #LostPhotos #ScottishHistory #PhotoArchive #UrbanDecay #HistoryUncovered #OldScotland #PhotographicHistory
