The remains of the former Partick Central Station (later known as Kelvin Hall Station) under Benalder Street in Glasgow. It was built around 1896 for the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway, and closed in 1965. The station buildings were demolished in 1968.
It's great to see Clarke and Bell's Art Nouveau style saloon bar on Dumbarton Road in Partick finally getting a decent make-over. Built for Philip MacSorley (who also owned MacSorley's on Jamaica Street) in 1900 on the site of an older pub called the Clan Vaults, it's previously been known as The Roost, Wall Street, The Exchequer, The Fitter and Firkin, The Clinic and Boho.
I love the details above these windows on a tenement on Peel Street in the Partick area of Glasgow, especially the cherubs in boats getting pulled along by swans. The building dates from 1875 and was designed by H and D. Barclay.
New flats filling in a gap between old sandstone tenements on Peel Street in the Partick area of Glasgow. The gap was created when a German parachute mine exploded at 11:25pm on 13th of March 1941, killing 50 people and destroying much of the street. As with other similar sites in the city, there's nothing to mark its history.
Partick Burgh Halls in the west of Glasgow. Designed by William Leiper in a style associated with the reign of Francois 1st of France (1515 - 1547), it was built in 1872.
A wonderfully detailed sculpture of Justitia, the Roman personification of Justice, by James Young on William Leiper's 1872 Partick Burgh Halls in Glasgow.
My favourite example of pareiodolia in Glasgow's architecture. For those who don't know, pareiodolia is the human tendency to see meaningful patterns where patterns don't exist, like seeing a face in the features of this tenement building on Dumbarton Road in Partick.
I've always loved this rather grand business entrance on the ground floor of a Dumbarton Road tenement in Partick. Pink granite was often used for such doorways in Glasgow as it was harder wearing and easier to clean than the red sandstone used for the rest of the building.
Good Morning, Glasgow. It's a pleasant start to the day here on Dumbarton Road in Partick, with the Glasgow University tower silhouetted against the sunrise.
Wellpark House on Partickhill Road in Glasgow. Built in a Jacobean style, it is thought to have been constructed around the 1860s.
Starting as a private house, it be came a Roman Catholic seminary in 1874. In 1906 the seminary moves out to Bearsden, and it became a hostel for student teachers called Saint Kentigern's Hostel.
In the 1950s, the interior was renovated by Gillespie, Kidd and Coia and turned into a residence for the Notre Dame College of Education (also in Bearsden). Most recently, it has been converted into residential flats.
A beautiful example of a Victorian Glasgow tenement from Peel Street in Partick. Designed in a Classical style by H and D Barclay, it was built in 1875.
