Sensitive souls should abstain!!!!!!!
Description:
"Les Jumeaux de l'Est" known as "Whitevale and Bluevale" are
outstanding Glaswegian architecture. Situated in the heart of the
East End of Glasgow. One of the most fascinating parts of Glasgow
because it has amazing character.
Designed by Wimpey, approved in 1963, and built in 1968, they
are the tallest standing structures in the city at 31 stories tall.
They are also the tallest residential blocks in Scotland and also,
until about 15 years ago, Europe. Although with the current cull of
tower blocks in Glasgow speeding up, they might not cast their
large shadow over Glasgow for much longer, as they are expected to
pass away in the mid 2010s. Its construction was carried out by
Thaw & Campbell.
Some may dislike them, but those with a different eye, will see
the truth about beauty and the true color of Glasgow.
