Glasgow's architecture looking gorgeous in yesterday's spring sunshine. These buildings on University Gardens in the West End of the city were designed by a number of architects, including Robert Ewan, John James Burnet and Campbell Douglas and Paterson, and were constructed between 1882 and 1905.

The main buildings of Glasgow University rising above the cast-iron Partick Bridge over the River Kelvin. Both were part of the major changes to the West End of the city in the 1860s and 1870s.

In the 1920s, the name grandually shifted, and the original F.P. style signs (left) were replaced by ones with the letter H on them (right). It wasn't until the 1940s and 1950s that the standardised fire hydrant signs we are now familiar with were finally introduced. However, a few of these earlier versions still exist.
Old fire hydrant markers on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus. The valves fitted to water pipes which we now know as fire hydrants were originally known as fire points, marked by the leters F.P., when they were first intoduced in the late 1800s (which replaced the earlier fire plugs, which were literally plugs fitted into water pipes).
