New photography exhibition to show snapshot of 'at-risk' Glasgow
Seeking to reflect the current state of the city's built heritage, the exhibition will examine recurring issues that threaten Glasgow's architectural legacy, including damp, vandalism and structural decay.
Hosted in partnership with Queens Park Camera Club, it is hoped it will encourage 'solutions and practical steps' towards the buildings repair and maintenance.
The exhibition will take place at the Glasgow City Heritage Trust office, 54 Bell Street, G1 1LQ.
It will be open every Wednesday to Friday throughout June to the end of August, with weekend openings on Saturday 31st May, Sunday 1st June, Saturday 5th July, and Saturday 2nd August, from 10am to 4pm. Entry is free.

Alan Taylor, President of Queen's Park Camera Club, said: 'We are delighted to have worked in partnership with Glasgow City Heritage Trust.
'Our club has been capturing images of a changing Glasgow since 1945, ever since its founding members returned from wartime service.
'The Lens on Legacy exhibition maintains that tradition. We hope that many people from Glasgow and beyond will enjoy the exhibition and learn much about the city's outstanding built heritage and the challenges faced in its conservation.'
Taylor Cross-Whiter, Heritage Officer at GCHT said: 'We're very excited to be partnering with Queen's Park Camera Club for this exhibition.
'By showcasing the beauty, and the vulnerability, of the city's at-risk buildings, we aim to spark vital conversations about their care and long term sustainability.
