This Is My GlasgowHumour in adversity on display at Hinba, the Hebridean coffee roasters, on Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. Hopefully the loss and damage isn't too bad.

These are a reminder that when much of Glasgow was built, horse-drawn carts were the main method for moving goods around the city, and a surprising amount of the infrastructure created to allow this to happen remains to this day.

A pend running through a red sandstone tenement on Hayburn Street in the Partick area of Glagsow leading to an old stable block. Leading through the pend is a stone tramway to help the cartwheels move more easily across the cobbled surface.

The castle-like Partick Sewage Pumping Station on the River Kelvin in Glasgow. Built in 1904 in a Scots Renaissance style, it was designes by A.B. MacDonald.

At this time, the Kelvin marked the boundary between the City of Glasgow and the Burgh of Partick. As a result, the bridge bears the Glasgow Coat of Arms on the spandrels at its eastern end (bottom right) and the Partick Coat of Arms on those at its western end (bottom left). Partick was finally absorbed into the neighbouring city in 1912, but its coat of arms remains on this bridge as a reminder of its once independent status.
The cast-iron Partick Bridge in Glasgow. Design by Ben and Miller, who also designed both the Great Western Road Bridge a short distance further up the Kelvin and the Albert Bridge across the Clyde near Glasgow Green, it was built in the 1870s.

Love this circular turret with a top floor balustraded balcony and candle-snuffer roof on Burnet and Boston's 1903 red sandstone tenement on the corner of Dumbarton Road and Merkland Street in the Partick area of Glasgow. This shows the influence of the Scots Baronial style on the design of many Glasgow tenements.

Red sandstone tenements on Dalcross Street in the Partick area of Glasgow. I love the rather minimalist oriel windows on these flats.

The remains of what I think is part of the old Meadowside Ferry port. The Meadowside Ferry was one of around ten different ferry routes which used to criss-cross the Clyde in Glasgow. It connected Govan Wharf with the former Meadowside Shipyard, Quay and Granary, all of which are now gone. This ferry ceased operating in 1966, along with the Govan Ferry and the Finnieston Vehicular Ferry.
