So the boss tells me to go and work in one of our Glasgow branches for the day. Great I think another boring day in another boring shop running around like a fly getting knackered.
However I get there and the shop is indeed boring but on a(this is the...) tour of the stock room I notice
Interesting, I think this day may be fun afterall!!!!!! On my second tour (given by another manager) the word ballroom is mentioned ......After Investigation I find that the shop was on 2 floors, stockroom on 3 and an intire floor of the building was lying vacant clearly showing signs of it's past decor (as a ballroom/ tea room I'm told). This is abandonia at it's best and I'm glad I had my camera handy
the above picture shows the real picture, the decoration has been butchered by umpteen generations of shop fitting, floors 1 + 2 are hidden by boring stuff so unknown. Floor 3 is v butchered but has patches of tile decoration, plasterwork, panelling and glass. Floor 4 is in a fairly good nick and could be repaired if wanted. There is also an old internal main marble stair no longer in use(dark as well).
and a basement(no tunnels I looked).
I'm back there on Friday so will take more pics
the address is 123 Sauchiehall St and anymore info would be great
the full collection of pics can be found at
