What a spectacular sight the Lyric Theatre on Sauchiehall St must have been. It began life in 1879 as the Royalty Theatre and owed its existence to a fire that year at the Theatre Royal.

A tram turns onto St Vincent St from Elmbank St, late 50s. The buildings to the left & right are gone, replaced by modern offices. Up Elmbank St is the former Glasgow High School, now occupied by the council. There are plans to turn the school into a luxury hotel.

It's just after 1pm on a smog-darkened 50s Argyle St. The reek from Glasgow's heavy industry and countless coal fires would enrobe the city whenever a low pressure weather system lodged in place.

Two young lads smile for the camera as the world around them changes forever. It's always poignant to see the wallpaper on exposed internal walls in half demolished tenements, evidence of the lives that they once contained. Part of a series by the late David Peat.

London Rd, 1962 v 2024.
It's 1962 and this 'Cunarder' on service no 9 is heading to Dalmuir West. It's passing a neat little brick terrace of shops on London Rd that have since been reduced to a single storey. Glickman's is still at this location today.

A tram lights up the gloom during the biting early winter of 1947. Amazingly, it's only 2.30pm on this November day as the freezing smog takes hold. Glasgow would endure frequent pea-soupers prior to the Clean Air Act of 1956.

I'm in George Town, Grand Cayman right now, and in Heroes Square they have these walls of milestones in history and significant people. A Glasgow version could be interesting for natives and tourists alike. The arguments over what should be included would be entertaining 😂

If a lot of these ladies do not look as delighted as you might expect, bear in mind that this means they have overnight lost their jobs and will be unemployed, with no thanks from the nation whatsoever. Women will be told to go into domestic service or lose the tiny dole.
At 5am on 11 November 1918, an armistice was signed and hostilities on the Western Front ceased at 11am. Although the peace treaties that would formally end the First World War would not be signed until 1919. Celebrations, that day in the West Riding were often led by the women

Looking east along Argyle St in 1971 as the Anderston Centre nears completion. An example of the "megastructure" approach to urban renewal, it was in a sorry state by the 90s. The Argyle St blocks have gone, but several others remain, refurbed and overclad in 2008 by GHA.
