Introduced in 1932, this was the first traffic light system controlled by the traffic itself. This was one of only two surviving Electro-matic boxes I've come across in Glasgow, with the other one being of a different (and possibly later) design.

Love this decorative ironwork on the former Savings Bank on Bridge Street in Glasgow. This branch was built in 1888 as an insert into the ground and first floor of an older mid-19th Century tenement.

A ghost building on Oxford Street in the Laurieston area of Glasgow. I love the way the chimney flues seem to have been extended twice as the now-disappeared building was engulfed by larger neighbours.

Despite the company's name, it's part of an old automated traffic light system. The font for the ATM logo is just so wonderfully Art Nouveau.

Another bit of personal geekiness, but I love coming across old access covers like this Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Company one I found recently in the Laurieston area of Glasgow.

Thought to have been designed by Bruce and Hay, it was built in 1884 as a branch of the Commercial Bank of Scotland.

Designed by Bruce and Hay, and built in 1910 when this block was at the heart of the city's garment district, it's now surrounded by empty and abandoned lots.
