Postcards from East Kilbride

A main road running right past the town centre. These flats are in one of the more neglected parts of the town, known as the Murray. Each block has different coloured squares running across the front, the design is typical sixties modernism.



One of the main Catholic churches in the town, called St Brides. The church stands on a hill on its own above the town centre. It's a very imposing building, towering above church goers.


One entrance to the main shopping centre, a ramp which also has steps running up the middle.

Post cards from East Kilbride, Scotland


This hotel has been in East Kilbride town centre for over twenty

years, it's part of EK's massive indoor shopping centre.



Right next to the Stuart Hotel, a row of shops and offices,
including Domino's pizza.




Car park for the shopping centre, each level is colour coded.



This is in the oldest part of the town, 'The Village'. The landscaping is a lot more natural than other parts of the town, it's also a slightly wealthier area.


A lot of the underpasses have been decorated by local groups or clubs.
This brightens them up and helps disguise the graffiti.

Post Cards from Surrey, Canada


"Comparison"
By: Samantha Webb and Laura Tymoschuk
In this photo, you can see the different types of building we have in Whalley. There are the older more old fashion types of buildings and the new modern buildings.











"A Place For Nature"


By: Alex Berry, Steven Scott, Mike Krugel


As Whalley renovates its society, the nature left seems to be embedded in weeds and garbage.












"Landscapes"






By: Alex Berry, Steven Scott, Mike Krugel







New buildings of Whalley give a modern feel to the area with contemporary gardens and waterfalls.






"Diamond in the Rough"



By:Alex Berry, Steven Scott, Mike Krugel




This picture is a blatent display of the diverse cultures currently in Whalley, new versus old buildings and raggedy versus clean cut structures. This shot was taken on a one way street, infamous for its rough territory, which made this building contrast dramatically.

























"Rickshaw" By: Michelle Nishino
Whalley has all types of places to eat. This sign for Rickshaw Chinese Food is very visable when you drive down King George.




"Landmark" By: Michelle Nishino
This is another photo of St. Helens Church. St. Helens was built in 1911, which makes St. Helens a historical landmark.







"Untitled" By: Meghan Nilsson, Bella Marshall and Kylla Patterson
Whalley has lot of empty lots, just waiting to be developed. The lots are very wild with lots of weeds, pretty flowers growing and overgrown trees.



"Untitled" By: Meghan Nilsson, Bella Marshall and Kylla Patterson
This is a typical run-down house in Whalley. Broken fence and a yard that isn't taken care of.







"Untitled" By: Michelle Nishino
Whalley has all types of churches. This church, St.Helens is well taking care of and has a playground for kids to play and a hall which can be rented out.



"Little City, Big Crime" By: Rose Lee Mason

This also shows Whalley from above, but it looks more like a little city.






"Whalley, Unknown" By: Rose Lee Mason

This shows Whalley from above, a view not many get a chance to see.








"Worry" By: Rose Lee Mason

This is showing what life is like down in Whalley, where people are always worried and looking over there shoulder...
