The Hidden Glasgow Forums

Funny to see the Riverside shipyard offices in the middle of that lot - are they still going to become the Glasgow rock and roll museum?

I was a volunteer at Mugdock for years - never heard that story. It's not in the location guide (http://avengerland.theavengers.tv/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and it doesn't look as if it's been blown up. As far as I know, there was a fire. Apparently it's too modern to attract ...

I think it's still a current electricity substation - no pun intended

Possibly originally a tramway one, from the age of it.

Isn't there something weird about the floor numbering, though, like floor 3 of the Weir is connected to floor 7 of the James Watt or something like that?

Yes it is a shame if the plans were lost to the fire, however to encourage someone to "rescue" the plans is basically the same as encouraging stealing - and urban explorers like Ben and many others on here are careful not to get caught up in such illegalities whilst enjoying their hobby. ...

Wow, fantastic pictures

The attic had lots of lovely old plans - I only photographed a few. The two parts of the building were separated by a wall and fire doors, so it might be possible to save the front part, though I doubt they'll do that.

Ah, that's a shame, but hardly surprising...

I might be wrong, but the Bantam has a gearbox in the front hub as far as I know. I'm not sure if it can freewheel or not...

I thought I'd put this up before, but here's a brochure on Kincardine power station: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4115/4824631944_a94fd3ea4a_z.jpg I'm on an iPad so it's hard to link lots of images, but if you click on that one it'll take you to a Flickr set with lots more...

Army terminology does at least have some kind of internal logic - like Overcoat, British, warm, officers of field class, for the use of.

People who cannot use "less" and "fewer" correctly really annoy me, sometimes even irrationally so.

Well I went, expecting to be disappointed, and I thought it was fantastic. Perhaps because I'm not a "car person", but I'm not in the slightest bit interested in being able to look inside every car to comapre gear knob shapes - the display on the wall worked very well I thought. The ship c...

An old one, this - from a 1904 book. No idea who she is
