Photographs of the iconic National Savings Bank complex in Pollok have been handed over to Glasgow Life by Persimmon Homes to go on display. The archive of over 100 photos give a detailed account of the creation of the National Savings Bank. The home builder has recently collated photographs of the old building complex that were discovered during the demolition process and is handing them over to the Glasgow City Archives to ensure they are preserved. Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren welcomed Persimmon’s Regional Construction Director, Alan Prickett, and Glasgow Life Archivist, Nerys Tunnicliffe, to Glasgow City Chambers for the official handover of the images. But they should belong to the people of Glasgow and we are delighted to present them to Glasgow Life.
