Last Stand of R&H Hall

It’s not every day you get to capture a piece of Cork’s history before it disappears forever. The R&H Hall building is now gone, and even Google Maps have updated their streetview so this same view of Victoria Road is now quite different.

The R&H Hall grain silo towers, built in 1934 and 1954, stood at 33 metres tall and were visible from many parts of Cork, making them one of the city’s most recognisable industrial landmarks for over 80 years. Hopefully, the new developments going up there will be as impactful.

Bank building on Victoria Road on the Southside of Glasgow. There's been a bank on this site since at least the late 1800s. I haven't been able to find an exact date for its construction, but the style suggests this building dates from around 1920 (plus or minus ten years or so).

I always love it when I get the chance to check out these rather gorgeous tenement tiles on Victoria Road on Glasgow.

John Barras and Co clock outside a former pub on Victoria Road on the Southside of Glasgow. John Barras was a brewing company founded in 1770 and based in the North East of England. In the 1890s, it merged with three other local brewers to create Newcastle Breweries, who would go on to launch Newcastle Brown Ale in the 1927. In the 1960s, another merger took place with Scottish Brewers to create Scottish and Newcastle Limited.

I love this gable and dormers on the central pavilion of W.M. Whyte's 1880s French Renaissance style tenement building on Queen's Drive on the Southside of Glasgow.

Love this little building on Victoria Road on the Southside of Glasgow. It's just so different from the surrounding sandstone tenements and townhouses, yet it still doesn't seem too out of place.

How's this for a decorative house number? It's from the tiled entrance to a tenement on Victoria Road on the southside of Glasgow.

Love this bit of metalwork at the top of a building at Victoria Cross on the southside of Glasgow. I particularly like the font used for the lettering. I also like the fact that the technical term for this type of decoration at the top of a building is brattishing.
