Photograph by @simoncroberts. Red Road Flats, Balornock, Glasgow, UK from the series #MerrieAlbion.

When the eight Red Road flats were built in 1967 they were seen as the answer to Glasgow’s housing shortage and the clearance of the slums, but as time went on the high-rise buildings became synonymous with serious gang crime, drug dealing, and suicides, not to mention health and safety risks (there is asbestos throughout the structure). By the 1990s, residents included refugees from Kosovo, Africa, Iran, Iraq, and the former Soviet Union, housed in the Red Road by asylum charities. As part of a regeneration programme, the Glasgow Housing Association announced in 2005 its intention to demolish the tallest block, and phased demolition was planned for the remaining high-rises. The flats were brought down by controlled explosion in 2015.
