The former John Inglis and Company tannery and leather warehouse building on the corner of Turnbull Street and Dyer's Lane in the East End of Glasgow. Built in 1876, the polychromatic brick rear facade contrasts sharply with the much more decorative pale sandstone facades Turnbull Street (and indeed on St Andrew's Squares - not shown).

I love the shapes on this polychromatic brick former industrial building on Moncur Street in Glasgow, especially the pediments at the top. Designed by M. Forsyth and built in the 1870s, it was originally part of the William Whyte's and Son clay pipe works, which had been based on the neighbouring Gibson Street since 1824.

Pre-1900 polychromatic brick buildings on Kelvindale Road in Glasgow. These were built for the nearby Kelvindale Paper Mill. The larger ones in the foreground were for managers, while the terraced cottages in the background were for ordinary workers.

The polychromatic brick rear facade of the former John Inglis and Company tannery and leather warehouse building on Dyer's Lane in the East End of Glasgow. Built in 1876, this facade contrasts sharply with the much more decorative pale sandstone facades on Saint Andrew's Square and Turnbull Street.

I love this curved entrance and door on the 1870s former Cook and Sons building in Elliot Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow. While a lot of them have been lost, such polychromatic brick industrial buildings are as much a part of Glasgow's diverse architecural heritage as red sandstone tenements, grand churches and ornate civic buildings.

A pre-1900 polychromatic brick house on Kelvindale Road in Glasgow. It was probably built for a more senior staff member at the nearby (and long-gone) Kelvindale Paper Mill.

The entrance to Saint Rollox House in the Springburn area of Glasgow.

Built in 1887 using the classic polychromatic brick style of Glasgow's industrial buildings, it was once the office for the Saint Rollox Railway Works at a time when Springburn was the global centre for locomotive construction.
