Ah, great, thanks, Dazza. I knew one of you would come up trumps. Not long moved to very near Hartwoodhill, so wanted to revisit the photos, which are, as usual, ace. Thanks!

Fortissat House

In case any of you are sitting on a rich seam of information, I'm researching the history of this place, built c.1650. It's between Salsburgh and Shotts. I've got all the usual Google stuff, and found that James Meek was born there (family big on the Covenanter scene) but haven't found much about th...

Re: Going for (cheap) lunch in the old Daily Record building

There was a work canteen in Pitt St police station when I worked there a few years ago. There's also one in the Thales factory in Linthouse (Barr and Stroud to you oldies!).

Re: Specialist Supermarkets in Glasgow

Re: Specialist Supermarkets in Glasgow

Salvanos Lebon on Dumbarton Rd has shut down now. Seems the market for hair extensions and mouldy yams dried up.

Re: Subway today

I'm pretty sure the digital signs at Partick, at the top of the escalators, do tell you when the next train is due. I saw it flashing the other day with 1 minute on the sign and sure enough, the train was approaching when I got down there. Maybe it was a mirage, though!

Re: Wimpy Bars...

I think you might be thinking of Ed Debevnick's that was where the Rock Garden is now on Queen St (is it still called the Rock Garden? I used to work in there, but not been past for a while). EB's was more of an American dinery type place than a Wimpey, as I recall it?

Re: Glasgow department stores

I remember coming up to Glasgow when I was wee at Christmas and going to see Santa at Lewis's. I got a balloon that was tied to my wrist and it got free and floated all the way up to the top floor from the food hall, where we were standing. Can still smell the foodhall!
