Townhouses in Glasgow's Park District. Primarily designed by Charles Wilson, these houses were built in the 1850s, 60s and 70s.

The camellias are in bloom. This one is outside a tenement on a very steep slope.

Ceramic street art in #Glasgow

There is quite a few of this in my neighbourhood and I make a point of not finding out who puts them there.

Off to Easterhouse parish church for a popup #Glasgow #RepairCafe today. We're there from 12 to 3pm if you have broken things you would like fixed.

Allegorical figures of Speed and Science flanking the entrance to the North British Locomotive Company building in Springburn, Glasgow. They were sculpted by Albert Hemstock Hodge in 1909.

Covid-19 pandemic memorial bench in Victoria Park in the west of Glasgow.

Between the 13th and 15th of March 1941, the German airforce dropped over 250 tonnes of bombs on Clydeside, killing around 1,200 people (half in Clydebank and half in Glasgow). This gravestone in Eastwood New Cemetery is a reminder that to this day, not all the bodies of those who were killed were ever identified. It's one of half a dozen similar stones in a row tucked away at the back of the graveyard.

The turrets and towers of Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow at the end of a sunny spring day (with the spire of Glasgow University sneaking into the shot, too).

'Gallus Glasgow'

Wonderful old map of Glasgow from the 1860s with interactive data layers on old and new buildings.

Love to see how the city developed over the last 150 years.

This is an interesting-looking wee building on Duke Street in the East End of Glasgow, which has clearly seen better days. There's a ghost sign above one window indicating it was once a tobacconists (thanks to Dennistoun Style for pointing this last bit out).

Blockade Runners to Spain Memorial on the Clyde Walkway near the Jamaica Street Bridge in Glasgow.

A memorial to the British seafarers who strove to break the fascist blockade of Republican ports during the Spanish Civil War.

Love the corner tourelles, topped with ogee domes and finials, on James Miller's 1897 Glasgow Style Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road in Glasgow.

How dare the Riverside Museum in Glasgow push this fine speciman of a Glasgow-built bus against a wall! This bus should take center stage. Just move one of those dreadful coronation trams against the wall instead. Only joking

This Albion Venturer was built by Albion Motors Glasgow specifically for Glasgow Corporation Transport in 1949. It was withdrawn from service in 1963.

Chassis: Albion Venturer CX37S. 9.08-litre overhead valve (OHV) Albion diesel engine.

A riot of reflections

One for #Glasgow built-heritage people. These details come from one of the last surviving relics of a venerable (and now lost) entertainment venue. Which one?

The Greencity Wholefoods Workers Cooperative building in the East End of Glasgow. While this particular cooperative was only established in 1978, the cooperative movement as a whole played an important role in the development of Glasgow, and especially in providing the city's workers with affordable goods and services.
