Police box beside Barrowland Park on the east end of Glasgow. Invented by Charles Eggar, a Glasgow fireman, police boxes first appeared on the city's streets in 1891.

The original signal boxes were hexagonal and made of cast iron by the Macfarlane and Co Saracen foundry. A similarilty in design strongly suggests it was based on a men's urinal already produced it that company.
