Some more pix from my recent archive trawl 😀📷 I’m really pleased with these, buried away in a negative sheet since I took them in the 80s.

 

The Luma Lamp factory, Linthouse, Glasgow with its magnificent tower, now re-developed and restored, but in the 1980s looking very sad.

 

Opened in 1938 as a light bulb factory of the Luma Co-operative Electric Lamp Society Ltd, the factory manufactured light bulbs for the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society (SCWS) for sale in Co-op shops.

 

Designed by Cornelius Armour, the in-house architect of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society, it is ‘B’ listed and is one of the best preserved examples of Streamline Moderne / Art Deco architecture in the city. #glasgow #glasgowarchitecture #scottisharchitecture #artdeco #artdeco #streamlinemoderne #luma #lumatower #lumalamp #scws #lightbulbs #lightbulbfactory #linthouse #govan #glasgowsouthside #southsideglasgow #1930s
