The brick in-fill seems to line up with the position of a sluice gate on this lade (circled in blue). This stone work also seems to form an edge of the type you'd see on an old lade, and the stones look like they could be slightly water-worn. Is it one of the last remnants of the old lade? It could be, but it could also be something else.

There is an odd feature on the wall between the Kelvinbridge Subway Station Car Park and South Woodside Street in Glasgow (circled in red on bottom right). The base of the wall juts out by about 4 inches and appears older than the upper part of the wall (top photo). It also has an odd bit of brick in-fill that seems to have been added before the upper part was built (circled in blue on the middle photo).

The house was pulled down in the early 1900s, and the land was converted into a public park, but for some reason, this wall was retained, and is still standing to this day.

When you start looking, you'll find Glasgow is criss-crossed by ghost walls, like this one which runs through the middle of Cross Park in Thornwood. Ghost walls are ones that are all that remains of old structure that are otherwise long-gone. In this case, it's a boundary wall for the ornamental garden of Crosspark, a late Georgian mansion built in the 1830s, which once stood on this site.

Wall in Neuf Brisach, France

Hello my dear ones, finally i find some time to dive into the fediverse and share some beauty from my world

This week i was travelling by train and bike in france for one day. Only 50 minutes away from my home in germany the world looks completely different, the nature, the architecture, the art...
And the baked goods and cheese are so much more delicious
An idea has materialised and it is possible that I will live there in the future

Mur à Neuf Brisach, France

Bonjour mes chers amis, je trouve enfin le temps de me plonger dans le fediverse et de partager quelques beautés de mon monde.

Cette semaine, j'ai voyagé en train et à vélo en France pour un jour , à seulement 50 minutes de chez moi en Allemagne le monde est complètement différent, la nature, l'architecture, l'art...
Et les pâtisseries et le fromage sont tellement plus délicieux.
Une idée s'est concrétisée et il est possible que je vive là-bas à l'avenir.
