On this day (14th December) in 1896 - the Glasgow Subway opened.
It's the fourth oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground, the Tunel in Istanbul and the Budapest Metro.
The Glasgow Subway - keeping it simple for 129 years! 🤣

This ancient, faded, parchment-like photograph is thought to be the oldest ever photo of #StPaulsCathedral, taken across the #London skyline an incredible 181 years ago!
This is London in 1844, only a few months after #Dickens had originally published #AChristmasCarol.
