It's also increasingly becoming encroached on by rather soulless modern buildings, much to the detriment of the local streetscape.

On the other corners are the equally impressive Norwich Union Chambers, the magnificently over-the-top Liverpool and London and Global building and an imposing Classical style office building.

96 St Vincent Street in Glasgow. Easily overlooked in favour of its larger neighbours, this rather cute little Classical style building was constructed in the 1850s.

I love this litte building at 190 Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow. It was built in an English Renaissance style in 1897 and was designed by Frank Burnet of the firm Burnet and Boston.

These buildings were constructed in a variety different styles, mostly over approximately an 80 year period (from the mid-1800s to the 1930s) and yet they still come together to form a single united streetscape that is uniquely Glaswegian.

A beautifully cast phoenix rising out of flames on the door of the Phoenix Assurance Building on Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow. Dating from 1912, it was created by the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts.

I've yet to come to a conclusion as to whether or not I actually like them, but they're certainly better than many more recent developments, and much of the housing built in the 1960s and 1970s.
