I don't know when this ghost sign dates from, but based on the font, I'm guessing sometime between the 1920s and the 1960s.

It provided an alternative to the NBRC shops and sold goods at fairer prices. This proved so popular that it grew to become the largest retailer in Springburn and at one time had 26 branches the area.

It's been estimated that 30,000 locomotives produced in Springburn were transported through the city in this manner, first with teams of Clydesdale horses, then steam engines and finally diesel-powered ones.

I particularly like the detail of the blocks and chains on either side, which were used to haul the completed locomotives through the streets of Glasgow and load them onto ships using the Finnieston Crane so they could be exported all over the world.

A total of 75 schools were constructed by the Glasgow School Board between 1874 and 1916, and this is one of the oldest still standing. It currently lies empty and abandoned.

It was damaged during a storm in 1983 and has been abandoned ever since. Plans to restore it were revealed in 2020, but have yet to be to implimented. I struggle to understand why nothing has been done with such a magnificent structure in over 40 years.

It's now the Hydepark Business Centre, showing that old school buildings can be successfully re-used for other purposes.

Love this industrial style cross on the top of Saint Aloysius Church in Springburn. It's very much in keeping with the area's industrial heritage.
