Charles Wilson's beautiful Italianate warehouse of 1847 at 144-152 Buchanan St. Built for the Exchange Investment Company, it was home for many years to Paterson's music shop. It's pictured here in 1970. 📷 RCAHMS #Glasgow

Derelict tenements on Simpson Street in Maryhill, photographed in the 1970s. None of them remain. 📷 William Traynor #Glasgow

A shame to hear that Robert Duvall has left us at the age of 95. Famed for legendary turns in The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, he also found his way to Scotland where he played opposite Ally McCoist in "A Shot At Glory".

The Kibble Palace in Glasgow's west end. Originally designed for John Kibble by architects James Boucher and James Cousland for his home at Coulport on Loch Long in the 1860s, the components were cast by Walter Macfarlane at his Saracen Foundry in Possilpark. #glasgow

Where am I? #Glasgow

See if I forget to post the photo, tell me. Don't just like the post like I'm a daft auld uncle that you don't want to upset 😂

This week's Friday pub is The Gallery at 203 Buchanan St. A perennial Subcrawl stop, it was known for many years as the Dow Jones, and also went by Butler's and the Pig and Firkin in the 80s. It was lost during the redevelopment of the upper section of Buchanan St from 2010.

The spire of the former Crosshill Queen's Park Church of 1873 glowing orange above Queen's Park Bowling Club in the setting winter sun. #Glasgow

If you're fed up with your work, it could always be worse. Spare a thought for this intrepid window cleaner, 6 floors up on the Central Hotel in Hope St, with only the steadying hand of his female colleague between him and oblivion. 📷 Daily Record #Glasgow

An aerial view of post-war housing in Pollok, photographed in June 1966. That's Linthaugh Rd crossing the frame before curving off into the distance, with Bonnyholm Ave nearest the camera. 📷 Reach #glasgow

Looking down into Hope St from high up in the Central Hotel, back in 1969. The dome of the Clyde Navigation Trust building is visible above the rooftops on the left, while down on the street we have the Norseman Bar (now the Solid Rock) and the Gondola restaurant. #Glasgow

Queen's Park Secondary School as it looked during the early 1980s. The school was built by the Cathcart Parish School Board and was accommodated in four buildings the earliest of which opened in 1874. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #Glasgow

An early 20th century view looking along Stevenson Drive (now Deanston Drive) on the south side of Glasgow. #glasgow

The kiosk at the Battlefield Rest, photographed by Chris Doak in 1982. #glasgow

Robert Billings' dramatic, 1854 baronial warehouse for J & W Campbell, on the corner of Ingram and Brunswick Streets. It was dismantled from within and the façade retained when, in 1988, it became one of the first successful developments in the "Merchant City". #Glasgow

Two sunny days in the West End of Glasgow, separated by a century. We're looking at 12 Park Circus, part of Charles Wilson's stunning development of 1855-8 which sits high up on Woodlands Hill. #Glasgow 📷 Glasgow City Archives, Past Glasgow

A wonderful view of Shawlands Cross, photographed in the 1960s. We're on the Kilmarnock Road side of Samuel Dow's bar, now the Granary, looking north to Neil Campbell Duff's handsome Glasgow Savings Bank building of 1906. 📷 Newsquest #Glasgow

This week's Friday pub is the Scotia Bar on Stockwell St. One of a few howfs laying claim to being Glasgow's oldest pub, it dates from 1792. In early years it was popular with workers & seamen from the docks & shipyards, and passengers from nearby ferries. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #glasgow

Glasgow City Council are finally relieving Derek Souter of the Egyptian Halls on Union St via CPO. Souter is a provaricating arse with no intention of putting his hand in his pocket. Here it is in the late 70s, courtesy of the JR James Archive. #Glasgow

Saracen St, Possilpark, photographed in 1937. The area is almost as old as the city itself, with the first mention of "Possele" dating to the 13th century. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #glasgow

Having bagged the UK Tree of the Year award, the elegant 170 year old Argyle St Ash is in the running for European Tree of the Year. You know what to do: www.treeoftheyear.org/vote #Glasgow

It's 1968 and we're looking south along North St with the Mitchell Library on the right. This scene would be radically altered that same year, as the M8 was gouged through the city, obliterating the buildings on the left. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #Glasgow

St Enoch's Parish Church once stood slap bang in the middle of St Enoch Square. The first church, designed by James Jaffray, was erected in 1780 but was rebuilt to a David Hamilton design in 1827, with Hamilton incorporating the original spire. 📷 Newsquest #Glasgow

St Enoch Square, Glasgow, photographed in 1973. James Miller's quirky 1896 Flemish Renaissance ticket office originally served as both a booking office and the headquarters of the original Glasgow District Subway Railway Company. #glasgow

A slice of 70s Govan, looking east along Langlands Rd in 1976. That police call box on the left is handy because we can place it on the corner of Greenfield St. The tenements are gone, replaced by modern housing, and the street layout is now much altered. 📷 Douglas Nicol

It's the mid 90s and we're looking up the precipitous slope of Scott St with the Cotton Cub on the left. How many of you have stumbled down that hill at chucking out time? 😏 📷 Dave Henniker #Glasgow

Looking south west down Byres Rd from just in front of the Botanic Gardens on Great Western Road. #Glasgow

Glasgow mornings, 1985. Same streets. Different time. 🎶 #Glasgow #VintageGlasgow #1985 #CityLife #scottishhistory

Sauchiehall St, Glasgow, photographed in 1975. Alexander Thomson's category A-listed Grecian Chambers of 1868 is pictured sporting a flaking paint job. The Girl Guides Association is in residence as the dental hospital looms in the background. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #glasgow

This week's Friday pub is the Press Bar on Albion St. Opened in 1937 by Thomas McEntee, and originally called the Express Bar when the Scottish Daily Express was next door. It stayed in the McEntee family until 2016 when Vincent McEntee called time on his tenure. #glasgow

Glasgow's bygone era of mass transit, filmed in September 1961 with just a year to go before the trams would disappear forever. Fantastic scenes of Argyle St, Hope St, and the low rise parade of shops at the corner of the two. 🎥 Duncan White #glasgow #60s #1960s #tram

Does this look familiar but you just can't place it? A wee hint: the Corona Bar will open on the left hand side 7 years after this photo was taken in 1906, and the Marlborough will follow in 1920. #Glasgow

Kids playing on the tenement streets of Dalmarnock around 1902. This photo, taken on Baltic Street, was one of a series commissioned by the Public Health Department to highlight housing conditions in the city. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #Glasgow

Tenement back courts on Muiryfauld Drive, Shettleston, Glasgow, photographed in 1968. 📷 Eastbank Model Railway Club #Glasgow

A wee nod to the Bard, on what would have been his 267th birthday. Burns Howff was a rock and blues music venue in Glasgow. It was located at 56 West Regent St in the city centre and established a reputation as the launch pad for many Scottish musicians. #Glasgow

Woodside Terrace, which stood at 1078 Pollokshaws Rd, Crossmyloof, exactly where the modern Co-op is. It was where Elizabeth Burns, the illegitimate daughter of Robert Burns and Anna Park, ended her days in 1873. She was buried in the Kirk Lane burial ground, Pollokshaws. #glasgow

Dallas's Department Store at 166-170 Cowcaddens St. Established by John Dallas in 1865, it was a staple of the area for clothing, fashion, and household goods until its demolition in 1973 during the comprehensive redevelopment of Cowcaddens. 📷 Urban Glasgow #glasgow

It was a bit of a dreich old day today, so here's a set I took back in April with the city painted orange and yellow by the setting Spring sun. #glasgow

The Cardonald branch of the Kinning Park Cooperative Society at 1517 Paisley Road West, photographed in 1930. The building is still there, and for many years has been home to the Halfway Co-op. #Glasgow

This week's Friday pub is the legendary hive of scum and villainy that was Bonkers Show Bar at 67 Hope St. Never has a place been so accurately named, and it closed in 2002 when its licence was revoked. #Glasgow

Charles Wilson's Park Circus, built between 1855 and 1863, looming over a frosty Kelvingrove Park from the glacial drumlin of Woodlands Hill. #Glasgow

Looking down onto University Ave in the west end of Glasgow at two Category A listed buildings: the Neoclassical Wellington Church of 1884 by Thomas Lennox Watson, and the McMillan Round Reading Room of 1939 by T Harold Hughes and DSR Waugh. #Glasgow

This absolute abomination of a mural has been approved for a gable end at 11 Elmbank St. Crappy AI Highland coos are bad enough when confined to tacky tourist shops, but to paint them on the walls of our buildings is mind-boggling. #glasgow

Looking along a sunlit Park Rd to where it joins with Woodlands Rd in the west end of Glasgow. #Glasgow

The Glasgow Apollo at 126 Renfield St, photographed in 1975. It started life as Green's Playhouse, a large venue that included a cinema and ballroom which could accommodate up to 10,000 people. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #Glasgow

The Clarendon Place gushet at St George's Cross, then home to a very grand branch of Ross's Dairy, photographed in 1932. The photographer is looking across Great Western Rd, with New City Rd (now Maryhill Rd) running behind the building. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #Glasgow

Waterloo St Bus Station, 1960s. Built by the Glasgow General Omnibus Company as a joint garage for its buses and private cars, it opened in 1927. Situated on the corner of Wellington and Waterloo Streets, it handled 250 buses per day when it closed in February 1971. #Glasgow

Buchanan St captured around 1980 by Norman Dawson. We can see the sculpture "Spirit of St Kentigern" which split opinion when it was unveiled as part of the Buchanan St pedestrianisation works in 1977. It now sits at the Allan Glen entrance to the City of Glasgow college.
