@sdenny I refer specifically to the town centre structure sorry, and also, do you have any interesting photos from all that time? Of the town centre perhaps?
@sdenny Check my channel for the full 26 minute or so version in high quality. I can't agree with you more, I just wish someone could see (or should I say could have seen) the potential to save Cumbernauld as an example of utopian living and centralised building experiment. To me, it's a fantastic and interesting structure that was sadly mostly demolished (the original Copcutt areas where the depressing Antonine now sits). It's a shame really as I can't see it lasting another 20 years.
Having came to Cumbernauld 50 years ago as a five year old this is a facinating film outlining the original ideals , however since the town was handed over from the CDC to North Lanarkshire Council , the decline has been staggeringly swift to the now extreme embarrasment of the town centre
It's Changed So Much ;)

The sinister music at 2:58 is hilarious. Clearly a Paul Gadd crèche.

I have just noticed that this version has a different narration from mine, I assume they are both Magnus Magnusson though...strange.

@fishertwo2 Hi there, check my Cumbernauld video on my channel. You have an opinion exactly like mine. A place that is in a vicious circle.
