This Is My GlasgowMar 7

The lone Pinkston Bar tenement on Keppochhill Road in the north of Glasgow. The bar was opened in 1889 by the wine and spirit merchant Timothy Warren, with the current tenement being built in 1892. While this might now seem like an odd location for a bar, it was once a busy residential street lined with tenements, and the surviving metal rosettes on the building indicate it was also part of Glasgow's extensive tram network.

@thisismyglasgow I had no idea Glasgow used to have trams

@LaChasseuse @thisismyglasgow most major towns and cities had a tram. Even places such as Falkirk and Aberdeen had a tram.

@smsm1 One thing I really loved about Gothenburg (Sweden's second largest city) was that they never let go of their trams, instead they have built out the network over time.

@LaChasseuse @smsm1 I really wish Glasgow had kept its trams, too.
