An old Rely-A-Bell burglar alarm box on a wall in the Hidden Lane in Glasgow. First created around 1904, Rely-A-Bell alarms were initially manufactured by the London ironmonger Thomas Gunn. It was spun off into its own company, the Rely-a-Bell Burglar and Fire Alarm Company Limited, in 1921. It's believed to be the oldest burglar alarm company in the UK.
A small ceramic tile, approximately 2 inches square, affixed to a wall in the Hidden Lane in Glasgow, but for no apparent reason. Neither the name, the text, the web address or an image search returns anything obvious.

I came across this handsome fellow while visiting the Hidden Lane in Glasgow yesterday. It's a copy of a 2nd Century BC Roman statue know known as the Uffizi Boar as the original is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The flowers behind his left ear is pure Glasgow!

I love this piece of painted glass I came across on a door in the Hidden Lane in the West End of Glasgow today.

Heavily worn setts in the pend leading to the Hidden Lane in Glasgow. The Hidden Lane is a collection of old industrial buildings tucked away behind a row of tenements on Argyle Street in the Finnieston area of Glasgow. The buildings are now occupied by a variety of small, independent businesses.

I don't know whether they've always been there, and I've only just started noticing them, but there seem to be a lot of weird signs around Glasgow at the moment. I spotted this one today in a window in the Hidden Lane. Love the Snacks Provided part, but going back and stopping yourself being born does open up all sorts of time travel paradoxes!
