Re: Ask Alex

Re: When its gone its gone Archive

Nice wee building and garage in Otago Street, soon to be demolished for flats. I assume the replacement will be taller and presumably finally obscure the old 'Red Hackle' signage as well... http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~gbarr/hg/otago1.jpg http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~gbarr/hg/otago2.jpg http://www.chem....

Re: 1930s University Lecture Theatre

There is still one remaining original lecture theatre in the building now - it has been abandoned for about 10 years as the rake is so steep it contravenes health & safety requirements! I do plan to try to get access there at some point in the near future... http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~gbarr/che...

BBC News story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7262054.stm "The fire quickly spread, causing the roof in The Loft bar to partially collapse." Doesn't sound good... the ceiling of the Loft is of course the original early 1920s ceiling of the Grosvenor... http://ww...
