Hey, no need to apologise :) I'll leave it for now, someone might have something to add ...St Vincent St Church is still on the WMF list.

Yeah, so what do you reckon is next to go? My guess is the Egyptian Halls. Soon there will be no representation of Thomson commercial buildings in the City centre at all, save for the Grecian Chambers and the warehouse in Gordon St (which is really just a facade anyway). Perhaps someone needs to market greek-revivalist jewellery and tea towels like the 'other' guy associated with Glasgow architecture...

Not sure if this really belongs here (paranoia about starting new threads setting in) - (slightly) new view of St Vincent St church from the south, over the rubble of whatever it was beside the Holiday Inn.

(Finally I can really see the point of the 'Greek' label.)

And sideways view of the north side and tower from somewhere near the Mitchell.

good bit of old/new there.

No need to think that we are out to get you Sunflower - merely a pause is requested from everyone before posting to think if it is really necessary to start a new thread as no doubt it has been covered before.
