Finnieston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finnieston is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde. It is home to the SECC, where many concerts and important conferences are held. Exhibition Centre station was previously known as Finnieston. The area has had a remarkable change in land-use since de-industrialisation. Previously, Finnieston was an area of warehouses and docks. A snapshot of how Finnieston used to look can be seen in the film Deathwatch (aka "La Mort en Direct"), which used the area extensively in location shots. It has now become an upmarket housing and office area with the Lancefield Quay and Skypark developments. Finnieston Street is a major junction on the Clydeside Expressway, and on September 18th, 2006, was augmented with the addition of the Clyde Arc over the River Clyde.
