Aaargh! I'm away from home and can't go and look - does the plate glass in the angled window go up higher than the plate glass in the one that looks west along PRdW?

The council guy told us that the conditions attached to the planning permission were that the signs and stained glass had to be kept, even if boarded up, and he said (I thought) that the decision would be available to see online. I tried to find the relevant committee minutes, but the GCC website manages to freeze my Firefox whenever I look at a pdf file, so after some major head-banging I gave up. Point being that if the glass has gone and if the conditions are as I understood them to be someone needs to be - um - held to account.

I think I'm turning into a 'professional objector' a la Go Ape. It's a rotten job, but someone has to do it......

Glasgow Gun Makers, Gt Wester Road, briefly revealed during a shop fit-out.
It's already been painted over in white emulsion unfortunately...

You know, it occurs to me, the new Transport Museum is going to have three street displays covering most of the 20th Century, shouldn't they be on the lookout for this kind of thing, rather than having to recreate it all from scratch?

Rescuing the Pistons and Components sign on Great Western Rd would be an excellent start!

Suggest it to them! Find a contact point, and drop them an email. That Pistons and Components sign may live on ;)

I have one you can borrow, if you like. Doubt it will match any of your shirts, though.
