About Talking Tosh with Lost Glasgow
Image Credit: Andy Hollingworth
Norry Wilson has had a lifelong fascination with his home city of Glasgow, which he has combined with an obsession for vintage photographs and archival research - think of him as the ‘Raider of the Lost Archives’. First falling down the vintage photography rabbit hole while working for the Evening Times, he has took his obsession online where he runs his massively popular Lost Glasgow page. To the delight of his followers, on Lost Glasgow he tickles the city’s collective memory muscle, teasing out old stories, forgotten facts, and the lost histories hidden in the photographic record of old Glasgow.
In ‘Talking Tosh’, he’ll use historic photos to explore Mackintosh’s Glasgow, the world that shaped him, and the design legacy that still leaves its mark on the city.
