Hi to the Surrey students!

I'm Louise Murphy and I'll be looking after the site and adding my own images of East Kilbride. I'm a fine art graduate (nearly!) and I have recently returned to the town after living away for a time, which gives me a different perspective.

I'm looking forward to seeing and reading your responses to East Kilbride.




The various parts of East Kilbride are connected by major roads, so there are a lot of underpasses and bridges to allow you to cross them safely. This is a long exposure photo, taken at night. Like most of the town, the underpasses are typical of modernist sixties architecture. There's a lot of concrete, which at the time was a new and exciting building material, rather than grey and dull the way it is now.
