A Phoenix rising from the flames on the side of Maryhill Community Central Hall in Glasgow. This mural commemorates the Phoenix Ironworks, which was established at 52 Queen Street by Thomas Edington in 1797. It later moved to Garscube Road near the Central Hall, where they specialised in making ornamental ironwork.

The original site of the foundry became the Phoenix Park in 1891, with the aim of providing a recreational space for the people lving in the crowded tenements of the Cowcaddens area of the city. The park was lost when the M8 motorway was built in the 1970s.
