Old photographs reveal how a town changes and grows over time — and Airdrie is no exception!

​

When I started the New Monkland One-Place Study, I began collecting vintage postcards and photographs of the area.

 

Over the years, I hope to expand this collection to create a rich visual history of the parish.

​

Below you can view a slideshow of some of these fascinating images.
