Photographic Survey (6 March 2013)
A photographic record of George Square and the locations of its various monuments, was requisitioned through Threatened Building Survey as a result of proposals for the redevelopment of the square. These proposals were abandoned by the council shortly before the survey was carried out, however it was decided to proceed with this work so that the national record of these sites might be up-to-date, should the redevelopment proposals be revisited, or a new project proposed, in the future.
