If I remember correctly, Smart Alex or Stuball posted up simillar photos over a year ago, I assumed that the building would have been pulled down by this time.

I've often thought as much as I've pulled such places apart. Dad (a retired builder) used to load me and my brother in the works van and away we'd go to turn one of these into something completely different. No matter how good a job we'd do, it wouldn't have any character until the new residents stamped their personality on it. There's a sterility about new build.

I think I remember using this footbridge to enter Cathcart station but it must have been at least 25 years ago.

I had my camera with me today so I stuck it through the hole in the bricks to see if there was anything to see.

Not much but Im surprised its still there given the state the steel must be in and the weight of all the bird sh1t.

Cast Iron gatepost by Anderson & Co Founders, Partick. Originally at the entrance to Queen's Dock, Finnieston, then ignored at the SECC ( without moving ) and very soon to be obliterated.

I should have got off the bus when I spotted this yesterday :evil:
The underground lavatory at Bridgeton Cross was excavated out and looking very photogenic.
When I got there today they had dumped a load of concrete in it. Part of ongoing streetscaping works.

I have finally been shamed into fixing lots of my broken links. Sorry everyone.
