What is recorded here

Bellahouston Park in Glasgow hosted the 1938 Empire Exhibition, where the Palace of Engineering displayed the machinery and systems that built modern life. The park still holds the shape of that moment, when ordinary people walked past steel, force and invention as if they were common. A city proud of making things set them before everyone, and the ground remembers the noise of wheels and the smell of hot metal.
