A red sandstone tenement on the rather steep Scott Street in the Garnethill area of Glasgow.

A rather beautiful bit of tiling from a tenement close in the Garnethill area of Glasgow.

I love this bit of brickwork in the Garnethill area of Glasgow. It's a glazed brick wall with a curved corner transitioning to a sharp right-angle mid-way through a single brick, and it's apparently called a Lark's Tongue. I've no idea if it bears any resemblance to an actual lark's tongue!

By 1894, the hospital's capacity had expanded to 74 patients, but this was still tiny in comparison to Glasgow's population at that time. As a result, it was replaced by a new, larger purpose-built hospital further west in Yorkhill, which opened in 1914, and this building later became a school.

Funded by charitable donations, it received its first patient on the 8th of January 1883. At this time, it has just 58 beds, but included an isolation ward and an operating theatre on the top floor lit by gas lamps. In 1888, a separate our-patient department, known as the Sick Children's Hospital Dispensary, was opened a short distance away on West Graham Street (in a building that's now part of the Glasgow School of Art).

A much-extended former Classical style mansion on Scott Street in the Garnethill area of Glasgow. Re-designed by James Sellars, the sculpture over the door of a mother and child reveals it was the site of the first dedicated children's hospital in the city.

The rather brilliantly named Normal School for the Training of Teachers in Garnethill in Glasgow. Designed by D. and J. Hamilton and built in 1837, it was the first institution in Britain specifically set up to train professional teachers.

🧠 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.
