Buchanan St captured around 1980 by Norman Dawson. We can see the sculpture "Spirit of St Kentigern" which split opinion when it was unveiled as part of the Buchanan St pedestrianisation works in 1977. It now sits at the Allan Glen entrance to the City of Glasgow college.

This week's Friday pub is JJ Booth's in Shawlands. It was located on the ground floor of the Newlands Hotel along with sister venue Bloomsbury Square. Many a Sunday night after 5s started in JJ's before heading through to Blooms which sold Schlitz. Never had a hangover like it 🤮

Parliamentary Rd, early 1960s. The original north east continuation of Sauchiehall St, no trace of it now remains.
The area was cleared and the streets realigned, first in the 60s as part of the Townhead B scheme and then in the 70s when Buchanan Bus Station was constructed.
