Love the decorative wrought iron metalwork on the gates to Central Station in Glasgow.

An access panel in the Broomhill area of Glasgow produced by the Lion Foundry in Kirkintilloch. This foundry was established in the early 1880s by a number of former employees of Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry in the north of Glasgow.

Originally named Jackson, Brown, Hudson and Cuthbert, they became known as the Lion Foundry in 1885. It closed almost a century later in the 1980s.

A. Watson and Co access cover from University Gardens in the West End of Glasgow. I love coming across these old bits of street furniture as they are a reminder of long-gone businesses. In this case, it's a firm of plumbers, brassfounders and gasfitters established by Archibald Watson in 1833 which went on to become one of the best known plumbing and gas-fitting firms of its age and was based at 86 George Street.
