The separate Glasgow Subway system is the fourth oldest in the world (after these two, and one in Budapest, which opened a few months before it).

This Is My Glasgow May 25

A plaque in Charing Cross Station marking the opening of Glasgow's first underground railway in 1886. While the city's subway is its best known undergound system, it only opened in 1896.

In 1882, the North British Railway Company was given permission to build the Glasgow City and District Railway, stretching for 2.25 miles beneath the city's streets to connect Charing Cross, Queen Street and High Street.

I waited a while,
for her to walk up and go,
tender on each step.

He looks at his phone,
and sees that number ringing,
and grows stark and dark.

The glorious Charing Cross Mansions in Glasgow. Designed by J.J. Burnet in an early French Renaissance style and constructed in 1891, this building always looks especially good on a sunny evening.

🧠 I was taking photos of the beautiful buildings around Charing X and Garnethill but this convex mirror on a post is what really caught my eye!

⭐ I love the contrast between the colourful reflection and the almost black and white branches and sky.

➡️ On to try again on a sunnier day to maybe get a blue sky background.

The beautiful sunshine was a joy to experience, especially as I captured this delightful view of Charing Cross, which glimmered during the wintertime.
