(do t...
The picture on the right hand page hasn't changed much over the years either - that building is still there, as you'll see on Sunday. Will make a good past present photo!
Unless I'm mistaken, the building in the background to the top left of the first image - with a clock in the centre of the chimney is the famous 'clock in the lum' of the original Maryhill Burgh Halls, converted from a bakery, and later a doctor's surgery. There's a photo of it here in the 1940s, ju...

Excitingly - only five years later! - my wishes have finally come true - Glasgow Online Planning is here !!! http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/...

My personal favourite was the Toledo in Muriend. It was built in an imitation of a moor castle, I think. It was converted into flats but the facade was retained. Wasn't there a cinema in Shawlands opposite the Academy? I think it was called the Elephant and latterly was a bingo hall, as many of the...
