Pictures taken in the gap between Central Station and the Cat House club in Union Street.
The difference in build quality is obvious. I would love to relate the location to the fantastic photographs showing the construction of Central Station and the Arches elsewhere on this site. Especially the one showing the presumably(?) forcibly truncated houses.

On the north side of the pic you can just make out a couple of buildings which still survive in the Argyle St stretch between Queen and Buchannan Streets, namely the white one which is/was Clarks and the one directly west of it which would become one of the Cranston Tea Rooms in later years.
