Finnieston is a district in the Western fringe of the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland, situated on the North bank of the River Clyde. It is home to the SECC, where many concerts and important conferences are held. Exhibition Centre railway station was previously known as Finnieston station. 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 now has upmarket housing and office areas 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 (known locally as "The Squinty Bridge") over the River Clyde.
