This Is My GlasgowThe 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.

The bell tower of Partick Burgh Halls in the west of Glasgow. Designed by William Leiper in a style associated with the reign of Francois 1st of France (1515 - 1547), the halls were built in 1872. The tower has a noticeable lean, and judging from old photographs, it seems to have had one since the 1920s.

Humour in adversity on display at Hinba, the Hebridean coffee roasters, on Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. Hopefully the loss and damage isn't too bad.

These are a reminder that when much of Glasgow was built, horse-drawn carts were the main method for moving goods around the city, and a surprising amount of the infrastructure created to allow this to happen remains to this day.

A pend running through a red sandstone tenement on Hayburn Street in the Partick area of Glagsow leading to an old stable block. Leading through the pend is a stone tramway to help the cartwheels move more easily across the cobbled surface.

At this time, the Kelvin marked the boundary between the City of Glasgow and the Burgh of Partick. As a result, the bridge bears the Glasgow Coat of Arms on the spandrels at its eastern end (bottom right) and the Partick Coat of Arms on those at its western end (bottom left). Partick was finally absorbed into the neighbouring city in 1912, but its coat of arms remains on this bridge as a reminder of its once independent status.
The cast-iron Partick Bridge in Glasgow. Design by Ben and Miller, who also designed both the Great Western Road Bridge a short distance further up the Kelvin and the Albert Bridge across the Clyde near Glasgow Green, it was built in the 1870s.
