Sauchiehall Street change not new

IT’S almost a week now that we have been without Marks & Spencer on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street (“Farewell, then, Marks & Spencer. Life just won’t be the same without you”, Herald Magazine, April 30).

Goodbyes, vintage 1930s, come to mind. Cranstons Waverley Hotel, and the Wellington Arcade were lost then; Marks and Woolworths had arrived. Changing times then and even more so today. Hopefully the old street will rise to the challenge.
