A great summary of the vital importance of urban waterways for keeping city-dwellers cool as the climate heats up; part of our conversation at the #RiverClyde event at @newglasgowsociety.bsky.social this week. theconversation.com/swimming-in-... #Glasgow #Glasgow850 @uk.theconversation.com

What a wonderful watery event yesterday at the @newglasgowsociety.bsky.social! I was so excited to share the history of swimming in the #RiverClyde. Then, guided by @judebarber.bsky.social & @louisewelsh00.bsky.social, we shared hopes for the river's potential future! #Clyde #Glasgow #Glasgow850

Glasgow's rail and subway system is more comprehensive than it's often given credit for, as illustrated in this map created by @tubemapdesign on Instagram. The map showcases the extent of the network operated by ScotRail in addition to the @glasgowsubway.bsky.social system.

Delighted to learn about the positive news surrounding Peter Womersley-designed Bernat Klein Studio. While celebrating this achievement, we should also remind ourselves about another Category A listed building, St Peter's Seminary in #Cardross. What's the latest update? 📸 @inowgointothewild

It's such a privilege to be giving a talk about my research at the New Glasgow Society! Come and hear about 19th century men - and some women - who swam in the River #Clyde in #Glasgow + the ongoing citizen enquiry on 'Who Owns the Clyde'. Aug 19. Free! #rivers #water #SportingHeritage #Glasgow850

Neil C Duff's Free Renaissance style commercial building of 1901 looks even more impressive when set against its modern neighbours. Built for George Miller, and first occupied by the Carsewell Fishing Gut Company, it was converted to housing in 2003. #Glasgow

Walked past the CRM-designed Scotland Street School Museum early this week. What's the latest update with this building? Is the museum going to reopen as nursery and digital hub anytime soon? #charlesrenniemackintosh #scotlandstreet #glasgow

As part of #Glasgow850, Chris Leslie joins us for his talk this month titled Wounded Landscapes. In his lecture photographer Chris draws haunting visual parallels between the war-ravaged cityscapes of Sarajevo in the mid-1990s and the neglected high-rise estates of Glasgow in the early 21st century.

For this year's @Architecture Fringe festival, NGS welcomed Japanese architect/designer, Chisato Yasuzawa, and her exhibition titled Translating Cities, Tokyo and Glasgow, to our community space. 07-15 June 2025 at New Glasgow Society, 1307 Argyle Street, G3 8TL Glasgow.

Had a wonderful evening listening to Prof Richard Brooke making comparisons between #Glasgow and #Manchester in the post-war urban renewal era. He also led an interactive discussion with panellists - Niall M from @glasgowheritage.bsky.social, Valerie W, and Stuart B. Glad NGS got a mention 😎

Popped in for the launch evening of @glasgowheritage.bsky.social x Queen's Park Camera Club's new collaborative exhibition - #LensOnLegacy yesterday. If you wish to learn more about the key problems #Glasgow's heritage buildings are facing, this is a good place to start.

Back in January I saw that Richard J Williams had a new book out on the Expressway, including something on the M8 in Glasgow. I suggested to @newglasgowsociety.bsky.social he could speak at one of their events and yesterday he did!

🔁 REPOST via Friends of People's Palace, Winter Gardens and Glasgow Green 📆 23 May 2025 ⏰ 12-4pm 📍 Bridgeton Library

Came across with the opening of #OuterSpaces' Bank Commissions show yesterday. It's great to see the atrium creatively revived with art. The furniture from the former #Clydesdale Bank remains. Thanks to the sunny weather 🌞 the atrium is well lit with natural light. Look at the dome 😍😍

I sat a bit too close to the front for @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social at @newglasgowsociety.bsky.social last night. Still, it was a fascinating presentation of Glasgow's architectural details and I'm looking forward to reading his book.

As part of #Glasgow850, our ‘Talks’ series brings together writers, artists, and historians to uncover the many layers of the city’s history and culture. This month, Colin Drysdale joins us for his talk, 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝. #glasgow #weegiewonderland

Brilliant talk last night with Prof Johnny Rodger about Glasgow School of Art. His 'oblique view' about the #Mackintosh building is very interesting to hear. Thank you to everyone who came for the second #Glasgow850 series. Stay tuned for more 🎶

& it's yet another one for Glasgow... yet another student accommodation block. Still rising, the omens of a property development bubble? Not the only UK city. www.scottishhousingnews.com/articles/fal... @ScotHousingNews #planning @newglasgowsociety.bsky.social

We are delighted to invite you to the next #NGS 'Talk' event in the series, where we turn our focus to one of #Glasgow’s most iconic buildings - The #Mackintosh Building. 📆 18 March 2025, Tuesday ⏰ 6.30pm 📍 1307 Argyle Street, G3 8TL 🎟️ by donation (suggested £2-£10)

Anderston Centre. Does it remind you of any movie or TV dramas? Who's loving the dystopian look? #anderstoncentre #architecture

Who's keeping an eye on the future of the A-listed #EgyptianHall following the recent CPO news? The building has been in scaffolding for more than 15 years. The potential transformation will be beneficial not just to the building, but the surrounding area of #UnionStreet and beyond.

Season's greetings from all of us at the New Glasgow Society. Massive thanks to everyone who has supported the Society over the past year. We look forward to 2025 with exciting events celebrating #Glasgow city and its 850th birthday! #Glasgow850

Some shots of the City Chambers taken last night. I checked on the Glasgow Life site and it says it will be lit from 3.30 till midnight. I have been in George Square twice over the last couple of weeks and it switched off at 10pm. Just in case you are planning a visit.

Some more fascinating Garden Festival documents came to light recently - in this case relevant to the proposed afteruse of the site, and very interesting in the light of what actually came to pass. (Credit: Ann and David Lever archive)

Caledonian Mansions, Great Western Road, Kelvinbridge 1897 Designed by the prolific architect, James Miller for the Caledonian Railway Company who operated the line that ran past Caledonian Mansions with Kelvin Bridge Rail Station just below the mansions. Available at: www.tenementalist.com

A dear friend of NGS spotted the reopening of the restaurant at Hutcheson's Hall. It is one of the #listedbuildings we keep an eye on. It's now rebranded as Saints of lngram, and the windows offer more see-through than before. Good luck to the team 🙌🏽 📍 158 Ingram Street

Clydesdale Bank's Glasgow headquarters at 30 St Vincent Place has been gone for a while now. The three storey A-listed asymmetrical Venetian Renaissance style building is now ready to let. What could this building be? #stvincentplace #listedbuilding #glasgow

It's all a bit 'Windows in the West' today (except, in my case, it's more 'Sojourn in the South'). Avril Paton's 1993 watercolour, of 35 Saltoun Street on the corner of Roxburgh Street in Dowanhill, from her attic flat, in Athole Gardens, has become an icon of the city.

Hello #Glasgow! Finally made our move to this new world. Hope to make more friends, both old and new 💚
