Scope and Content View from west of bridges in Area 'E', Hutchesontown-Gorbals Comprehensive Development (CDA) Area: E, Glasgow Hutchesontown-Gorbals CDA, Area 'E' was approved in 1968 and built by developers Gilbert-Ash (Scotland) using the 'Tracoba' system of pre-cast panels. Two 24-storeyed blocks of 384 flats, and 12 seven-storeyed blocks containing 759 flats were built. This photograph shows two of the bridges which linked the blocks together. The bridges are covered from the elements and have grilles and panels along their sides forming a pattern. The blocks behind have geometrically-patterned decorative panels. The seven-storeyed blocks seen in this photograph were demolished in 1987, after becoming run-down and uneconomic to renovate. The new Crown Street housing project was built on this site.
