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 Until the 1960s, Glasgow was synonynous with trams, and had one of the largest networks in Europe, with 1,000 trams and 100 miles of track. 👍🙂
@thisismyglasgow Such destruction of public wealth, just to please the automotive industry! Criminal.
