It would appear I have been neglecting my flickr stream.... Not like me. I have not been photographing any less, just uploading less....

Ghost signs, ‘WH Dinwoodie, High Class Provision Merchant’, Shawlands, Glasgow. They’ve been working on this shop for a while, it’s being turned into a pizza place, so presumably these signs will soon be covered again, but at least they’ll be protected for other people to enjoy in a few years😀

After lying derelict and getting increasingly run- down, it looks as if the beautiful, elegant Lyceum Cinema, Charles J McNair’s art deco masterpiece in Govan, Glasgow might be getting a new lease of life - there are signs for the Lyceum Hub on the door and people working inside - fingers crossed 😀 #lyceum #lyceumcinema #lyceumcinemaglasgow #artdeco #artdecocinema #glasgowartdeco #glasgowarchitecture #cinema #cinemas #scottishcinemas #glasgowcinema #scottishcinemas #govan #lyceumhub #charlesjmcnair #cinematreasures #glasgowsouthside #southsideglasgow

A few years ago I bought a fish eye lens, although it was a good lens, I didn’t really use it as much as I thought I would - this is the best picture I took with it, Charles J McNair’s art deco masterpiece, the Lyceum Cinema in Govan, Glasgow😀 #lyceum #lyceumcinema #lyceumcinemaglasgow #artdeco #artdecocinema #glasgowartdeco #glasgowarchitecture #cinema #cinemas #scottishcinemas #glasgowcinema #scottishcinemas #govan #lyceumhub #charlesjmcnair #cinematreasures #glasgowsouthside #southsideglasgow

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

A good start to the day, my picture of multi-coloured houses in Langside, Glasgow has made Picture of the Day in The National.

Part of the infrastructure of the former Govan ferry landing stage at Water Row, now restored as part of the new Govan - Partick bridge, recently opened. Good to see it being reused as supports for lampposts #bridge #glasgowbridges #govan #partick #glasgow #southsideglasgow #westendglasgow #glasgowsouthside #glasgowwestend #riverclyde #clyderiver #bridgesoftheworld

A picture I took a few weeks ago of exterior wall decoration on a sports bar in Battlefield, Glasgow - I liked the creative use of bits of old snooker tables - it’s now made it into The Guardians new web gallery. 😄📷 #theguardian #guardianreaders #guardianphotography #snooker #sportsbar #glasgow #glasgowsouthside #southsideglasgow #creative #creativity #wallart #battlefieldglasgow #photography

The new bridge over the River Clyde, Glasgow linking Partick and Govan had its official this morning, open to the public tomorrow. For many years, the little ferries like this one was the best way to get between Govan and Partick, the Govan side of the bridge ends at Water Row, where the ferry landing stage was and some of the infrastructure had been used as lamppost supports, nice touch.😀 #bridge #glasgowbridges #govan #partick #glasgow #southsideglasgow #westendglasgow #glasgowsouthside #glasgowwestend #riverclyde #clyderiver #bridgesofinstagram #bridgesoftheworld #clydeferries #clydeferry #ferry #passengerferry
