About Public Talk: A Talk about the Past, Present, and Potential Futures of Sauchiehall Street with Norry Wilson of Lost Glasgow

Norry last spoke at our venue in 2019 and this new talk will take into consideration the developments on Sauchiehall Street over the last six years.

Journalist and social historian Norry Wilson has had a lifelong fascination with his home city. He first fell down the vintage photography rabbit hole while working on the Evening Times. Think of him as the ‘Raider of the Lost Archives’. Now, after 10-years, and with over 300k online followers on his Lost Glasgow site, he continues to tickle the city’s collective memory muscle, teasing out old stories, forgotten facts, and the lost histories hidden in the photographic record of old Glasgow.

Part of The Dug Out: Sunday Afternoon Talks for the Public in 2025.
Dig deeper into the inspirations and history surrounding the original Willow Tea Rooms building with our series of talks for the public. All talks are led by an expert in their field and include a chance to ask questions in one of our historical tea rooms.
