The chimneys are a particularly nice feature, especially the larger one which slopes in as it rises up, a feature also seen on Charles Rennie Mackintosh's House for an Art Lover on Bellahouston Park.

Part of a terrace of red sandstone Glasgow Style houses on the corner of Norby Road and Marlborough Avenue in the Broomhill area of Glasgow. Built in 1903, they were designed by William Baillie.

However, my best guess is sometime pre-WWII as the wording suggests a single stamp was issued for a single coin (probably a pre-decimal penny coin).
@lbsg.org Any ideas on when this might date from?

Stamp vending machines were first introduced in the UK in 1907 (during the reign of Edward VII), so it must have been a later addition to this particular box, but I've no idea when.

It's made of enamel and its message (Await Delivery of Stamp Before Inserting Further Coin) seems rather odd, until you realise it's all that's left of a stamp vending machine which used to be attached to the post box.

I noticed this curious little ghost sign on a VR post box on Crow Road in the Broomhill area of Glasgow a few months back, but only got round to photographing it today.

Despite all the faff associated with the clocks going forward this weekend, it is nice to still have light in the sky at 8:15pm. Whether I'll still feel that way tomorrow morning is another matter entirely!

Love these rather grand 1860s blonde sandstone tenements on Broomhill Avenue in the west of Glasgow, especially the fact there are bay windows on one side of the corner and bow windows on the other.

The former Broomhill Congregational Church on Victoria Park Gardens South in the west of Glasgow. Designed by J.J. Burnet in the gothic style, this church and its associated buildings were constructed between 1903 and 1907.

Love these windows on William McNicol Whyte's 1902 tenements on Marlborough Avenue in the Broomhill area of Glasgow. It's unusual to see oriel windows mixed with normal windows in this way.

This can include wally dugs (china dogs), and wallies (or false teeth). This, in itself, is derived from an older meaning of anything fancy, splendid or highly decorative.

A fine example of a wally close in the Broomhill area of Glasgow. A wally close is a tiled a commununal stairwell a Glasgow tenement, with the word wally being a Scots word for anything made from ceramics or china.

Hopefully it's heralding an equally beautiful day, despite what the forecast is suggesting!

Good morning, Glasgow. With just over a week to go to the shortest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere, there was a brief, but beautiful sunrise just after 8 o'clock morning.

Good morning, Glasgow. It's another cold but clear morning, meaning another rather beautiful sunrise. This is how it looked from Broomhill.

So, why are such varied buildings grouped together under a single term? Well, a tenement is really just low-rise building containing multple flats, and a shared entrance.

Replace the cars with horse-drawn carriages and it could easily be a scene from a period murder mystery.
