What is recorded here

Monkland Canal, Castle Street Basin Wharf, Glasgow, cut through the city during the 18th Century and 19th Century, forcing river traffic and human ambition to bend around its own shape. The wharf still holds the memory of barges scraping past stone, carrying coal, timber, or secrets that never reached their final destination. It is not a display for tourists but a working edge of Glasgow, where water and stone remain entangled in the life of the city.
