A rather gorgeous Art Nouveau style rose on a stained glass window of Hyndland tenement in the West End of Glasgow.

That's a tenement in Glasgow? Jeebus your poor people do well.

@Uair In Glasgow, tenements weren't just for poor people, they were for all levels of society. These ones would have been built for professionals, and they're not even close to being the poshest ones in the city!

@thisismyglasgow @Uair

Tell them about the estates and slum areas, which were still used in the Eighties. The poorest of the poor, one cramped room, shared metal bathtub, damp walls.....

@uc @thisismyglasgow

I think I've seen fiction set in it. Trainspotting?

@Uair @uc Believe it or not, I've been in tenements in Glasgow in the last decade that made the flats in Trainspotting look like a very pleasant place to live!
