It's a pity the Council were not able to be more successful in saving some of the priceless warhouse and commercial buildings around the cross area; Greek Thomson etc. Someone on another thread asked recently about vanished pubs in Glasgow, one such was the 'House of Lords'. I can't remember the street name but the pub faced the big bonding warehouse converted by Millers into private flats. I believe the factor holding up the Trongate redevelopment is the bitter warfare between the existing site-owners, especially the smaller ones who are reluctant to sell the smaller sited needed to package the larger ones. Everyone wants their share of the major ultimate profits!
