Loving this new sign outside the Barrowlands in the East End of Glasgow. Originally built as a ballroom, it's now one of the city's favourite music venues. The sign is by the street artist A Sign of Humour.

The sign above on of the entrances to The Barras, Glasgow's legendary market, where, in its heyday, it was said pretty much anything could be found for sale. It was started in the years after World War One by James and Maggie McIver who rented barrows to local traders in a yard in Marshall Lane. In 1926, the space was covered with a roof to create a more permanent market space.

The Iconic Barrowland Ballroom Neon Sign on Gallowgate in Glasgow.

The Ballroom was first built by Maggie McIver, the Barras Queen, in 1934. On its roof was sign depicted a man pushing a barrow, which is thought to have been the first animated neon sign in the UK.
