An 1890s blonde sandstone tenement on the corner of Byres Road and University Place in the West End of Glasgow. When this tenement was built, University Avenue ran to its right, but around 1970, it was shifted to its current location further north as part of the expansion of Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus.

For those who are interested, I'll be doing my last market of the year this Saturday (13th Dec) at the Byres Road Market in Hillhead Library. I'll have copies of my book Glasgow Uncovered for sale as well as mounted prints of some of my photos, Glasgow Christmas cards and the last of my 2026 calendars. It's on between 11am and 4pm.
The GCT on the cartouche at the bottom of this metal box at the top end of Byres Road indicates it's one of the few remaining parts of Glasgow's once extensive tram network. It would have provided an electrical connection to the overhead wires that powered them. The smaller box on top contained a telephone to allow the driver or the conductor to check in with the tram depot.

I love this sculpture on a wall at the junction of Byres Road and University Avenue in West End of Glasgow. Created in 1993 by Michelle de Bruin and Callum Sinclair, this is the first time I've seen it lit up in a very long time. Known locally as the Sun and Moon Clock, I've always known it (possibly incorrectly) as the Eclipse as it appears to depict a solar eclipse, with the central part representing totality.
