A terrazzo threshold with a monogram at the entrance to what is now Wee Paree on Crow Road in Glasgow. I'm presuming the A.C. stands for Andrew Cochrane, whose Cochrane's grocery store chain was founded in the 1880s and had grown to around 100 stores by 1914, shortly after the tenement where this threshold still is was constructed.

William Whyte's rather unique 1905 Scots Baronial style tenement on Broomhill Drive in Glasgow.
We seem to have reached peak cherry blossom here in Glasgow!
Spring cherry blossoms against red sandstone tenements in the Broomhill area of Glasgow.
Good morning, Glasgow. Cherry blossom season here is always a delight, bringing vibrant splashes of pink to the city's streets. These ones are in Broomhill, which always puts on a wonderful display.
Good morning, Glasgow. Blue skies, red tenements and white blossoms, welcome to Spring in the Broomhill area of the city.
Part of a terrace of red sandstone Glasgow Style houses on the corner of Norby Road and Marlborough Avenue in the Broomhill area of Glasgow. Built in 1903, they were designed by William Baillie. The chimneys are a particularly nice feature, especially the larger one which slopes in as it rises up, a feature also seen on Charles Rennie Mackintosh's House for an Art Lover on Bellahouston Park.

Stamp vending machines were first introduced in the UK in 1907 (during the reign of Edward VII), so it must have been a later addition to this particular box, but I've no idea when. However, my best guess is sometime pre-WWII as the wording suggests a single stamp was issued for a single coin (probably a pre-decimal penny coin).
I noticed this curious little ghost sign on a VR post box on Crow Road in the Broomhill area of Glasgow a few months back, but only got round to photographing it today. It's made of enamel and its message (Await Delivery of Stamp Before Inserting Further Coin) seems rather odd, until you realise it's all that's left of a stamp vending machine which used to be attached to the post box.
