Finnieston Crane, Glasgow At Sunset Stock Photography

The Finnieston Crane sitting on the banks of the river Clyde is a landmark in Glasgow, Scotland. It is now disused but is retained as a symbol of the city's engineering heritage It was built in 1932 and used to lift heavy machinery – mainly steam locomotives onto ships for export. With the decline of locomotive manufacturing and other heavy engineering in Glasgow during the 1960s, use of the crane continued to decline and it fell completely into disuse in the early 1990s.
