Freddy the cat finally being shown the respect he deserves 😂 An absolute outrage that someone has rated him any less than a 5 😠
This old gem is in Telephone House. An old style lift drive unit and control panel. A & P Steven were a once great Glasgow company. They were based on St James Rd in Townhead. A late uncle worked/drank for them. Pic 4 - an old sign that I acquired many years ago.

The Orient cinema at 571 Gallowgate, photographed in 1976. Designed by AV Gardner and opened in 1932, it became a bingo hall in 1965. It was severely damaged by fire in the late 90s and was demolished to make way for new housing in 2004. 📷 Glasgow City Archives
@PastGlasgow It’s quite something ….
The strands connecting Glasgow's social history can be spooky at times! I was at a public meeting on Nithsdale Street this morning, but I had little idea how it related to this old photograph, until I spotted this Daily Express headline about 'Betty Gow on the way to Glasgow'...

James Thomson's Italian Renaissance corner block at 340-344 Argyle Street, built in 1892 for the Clydesdale Bank. It was almost glowing in the late evening sunshine on Wednesday 😍 📷 Past Glasgow

As I was born in 1989, I sadly missed the Glasgow Garden Festival by a year, but it was fascinating to listen to Niall interview an excellent panel from @AtGF1988 about its ambition & impact on our city. How do we recapture that audacity to drive forward the city's growth today?
Excited to be recording @GlasgowHeritage #IfGlasgowsWallsCouldTalk podcast with @AtGF1988 in #Glasgow’s South Rotunda on the River Clyde aka Nardini’s / ‘The Dome of Discovery’ which is now the HQ for @MalinGroup = check out the view of the Finnieston Crane…👀👇😮🥰!
@PaulJSweeney @MalinGroup @LambLex @GordonBarr @GlasgowHeritage @urbanprehisto @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow @is_glasgow @newglasgowsoc It seems that the discussion (perhaps due to the handling of the hosts) raised more pertinent issues of heritage and the city than anyone expected! Thanks again to @GlasgowHeritage and @MalinGroup
@PastGlasgow A fantastic and underappreciated wee vantage point, that!
@PastGlasgow 5-star review duly posted. I was over there last Tuesday for a wee look round the excellent Young's Interesting Books.

I was in Utrecht last week. It's unimaginable that a motorway once ran through the centre of the city. They removed it & have created a people friendly, accessible, liveable city centre. It was one of the best cities of my Europe trip. Imagine what Glasgow could do @ReplacetheM8
This old gem is in Telephone House. An old style lift drive unit and control panel. A & P Steven were a once great Glasgow company. They were based on St James Rd in Townhead. A late uncle worked/drank for them. Pic 4 - an old sign that I acquired many years ago.
It's 'Muirhead Monday' again, and this week finds Mr Bone back in St Vincent Street - named after one of the opening sea battles of the Anglo-Spanish War (1796–1808). We're looking west from the junction with Blythswood Street. Pic: 'Glasgow - Fifty Drawings' by Muirhead Bone.

@UrbanistTOC @MurphyNiallGLA @PastGlasgow The decreasing ceiling heights tell a bit of a story too.
@PastGlasgow I own a property at the building next to it. I can view it from the back and it’s in an awful state. I can’t understand why Misisng Records relocated here.
@PastGlasgow There were various proposals made for the sight. But the previous owner utterly refused to sell it. Shame as something much less of an eyesore could now occupy the sight.
@PastGlasgow May I sneak in a cheeky plug for this post on the Thiems? newcleckitdominie.wordpress.com/2023/01/12/fro…
@PastGlasgow I worked in there 96-02 theres so much of the original building still there behind gyproc and above ceiling tiles
@PastGlasgow Worked there in the 90s/00s when it was Direct Line/RBS. Very happy times and a lovely building. Sad to see it still empty.
