Old photograph of the Post Office in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Cumbernauld's history stretches to Roman times, with a settlement near the Antonine Wall, the furthest and most northerly boundary of the Roman Empire. After the Second World War Glasgow was suffering from chronic shortages of housing and poor housing conditions, particularly in areas such as the Gorbals. As a direct result Cumbernauld was designated a new town in 1955.
