Here's the info on Buildings at Risk on the place:

That is shocking that the Council are still the owners of the building and cannot even keep it wind and watertight.

I thought that it must have been sold on before it got into that state. When we were looking at it with an Architect it was for a feasibility study, it was well gone then but not beyond repair.

That tells you why the Council don't issue many improvement notices on buildings at risk in private ownership. How could they? When they cannot look after their own assets.

Glasgow City with Style, City of Victorian and Edwardian Heritage.........Only if it falls within a certain post code.

Did'nt they cover it in candles a few years ago?

I worked in Cowlairs Road from 1978 to 1983 and I remember playing mixed 5 a sides in the hall one summer. We had about 10 teams altogether and my team won I didn't contribute much tho

Carmunnock Road 1930






Manse Brae, Cathcart 1929






Shawlands 1905






Grange Road, Battlefield 1900






Shawlands Cross 1920






Victoria Infirmary 1922






Pollokshaws Road at Torrisdale St 1903






Langside Road 1890






I've got to say, I think this last one turned out beautiful. Everything that the 'past present' is all about. What would that family say about their church if they could see it today?

Old Cathcart Church 1890
