For some reason, the reference to the 'Ladies of Partick' on this sign on the Jubilee Gates of Victoria Park of the West of Glasgow always amuses me, possibly because it now comes across as a rather antiquated phrase. The gates themselves were created by the Saracen Foundry in Possilpark and were erected in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria's 50th Year on the throne.

This morning at the gates to Victoria Park in Glasgow.

These gates were erected to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria by the 'Ladies of Partick' in 1887.

They were originally situated on Balshagray Avenue but were moved to their current position in 1963 when the Clyde Tunnel (which borders the eaatern edge of the park) was being built
