Where's the other 3 Fossy ?
Was the Duke St pole being used ? If not, I gues the Balshagray Av one might be the only one still in use.

I'm getting a pic tomorrow (long as it's not raining). There really aren't a lot of lamp post mounted traffic lights now, it used to be fairly common.

Bridge Street, about 1960.
2007. (I should have moved a bit closer to the road).
Anniesland late 1950's ish.
2007 (not the best angle, but it's awkward with the cars, and lack of high vantage point).
And....
Stripey traffic light at Balshagray Av.

Aye, it is a bit, isn't it. Really nice to see Bridge Street looking like a proper street and not just a through road, though. Thanks Ken.

Was just wondering, what was the building circled below?

I believe this was the barony free church.
Quote from Carol Formans book Glasgow from the air
"Directly left of the infirmary is the barony free church the 120 foot tower of which was a landmark.In 1973 the church was demolished following damage caused by the nearby Post Office tunnel"
