The decorative ironwork over the entrance to the Partick Bowling Club on Fortrose Street in Glasgow. The blub was established in 1844, making it one of the oldest bowling clubs in the city.

Bootscrapers of Pollokshields in Glasgow. These pieces of street furniture would have once been found at the entrance to most town houses and many tenement closes.

Title:
Where the Light Stopped
Description:
Shot this late at night. The building had this ornate iron railing running along the edge and there was one light source hitting it from below — everything behind it was just gone, completely black. I stepped back and left most of the frame empty on purpose. The railing sitting only in the bottom right corner somehow made it feel heavier than if I'd filled the frame with it. The circular patterns and scroll work are old — hand-crafted detail you just don't see on new construction anymore. All of that work, just sitting there in the dark with nobody looking at it. One light, one railing, everything else nothing. That felt like the right frame.

The Albert Bridge in central Glasgow. Built in 1868 to a design by Bell and Miller, it's the only substantial wrought-iron arched bridge in Scotland.

Love this ornamental ironwork outside a blonde sandstone Victorian townhouse on Athole Gardens in the West End of Glasgow.

An orgy of Art Nouveau ironwork supports a staircase of the Grand Palais, at Paris , France. May 2026. Opened in the year 1900 for the Universal Exposition, the impressive building still pulls in millions of people for various exhibitions annually.

By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow.
