This Is My Glasgow<p>This included the unusual-looking Elevator Ferries which had movable decks that could be moved up and down so they were always level with the quayside despite local tidal ranges of up to 5m. This made it easier for vehicles to drive on at one side and off again at the other.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theclyde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theclyde</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ferries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ferries</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/bridges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bridges</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/squintybridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>squintybridge</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Clyde crossings old and new. An old ferry dock lies in the shadow of a 21st century bridge in Glasgow. When the city was a bustling port and shipbuilding centre, bridges across the Clyde which would block the passage of large ships were not allowed, so instead a fleet of small boats continually ferried people and vehicles from one side to the other at various points along its banks. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theclyde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theclyde</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ferries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ferries</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/bridges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bridges</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/squintybridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>squintybridge</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>This was in the centenary year of Lyon's, which has been started by William Lyon in 1868. While the shop re-opened two weeks later, the building was so badly damaged that it was eventually demolished to be replaced by the current newer building. Lyon's never recovered from the associated financial loses, and it ceased trading four years later in 1972.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sauchiehallstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sauchiehallstreet</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Love this ghost sign painted on a wall beside the entrance to a tenement on West Princes Street in the Woodlands area of Glasgow. It's repeated again on the neighbouring close as well. They're right next to a former military drill hall, and I wonder if the warning is related to its presence. There is a certain irony to having a sign written on a wall which says that writing on walls is not allowed!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/tenement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tenement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowtenements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowtenements</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/tenementlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tenementlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ghostsign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ghostsign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/woodlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>woodlands</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Love this re-use of this old tram rosette on a tenement on Victoria Road in Glasgow.

This Is My Glasgow<p>This Romanesque style tower of the former Scostoun Flour Mill on Dunaskin Street in Glasgow. Also known as the Waulk Mill, it was one of five mills lining the River Kelvin in the Partick area of the city in the 1820s, and it was the last one to remain operational. It had a variety of owners over the years, but at the time it closed in 2013, it was run by Rank Hovis MacDougall.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/partick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>partick</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/tower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>One of the first canals in Scotland, it was abandoned for navigation in 1952. It was covered over when the M8 motorway was built in the 1960s, and which partially follows the route of the old canal. This culveting was needed as the Monkland Canal acted as a feeder for the Glasgow spur of the Forth and Clyde canal, and without it, it would stagnate and dry up.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/mobklandcanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobklandcanal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/m8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>m8</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/jameswatt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jameswatt</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The point at which the Monkland Canal (designed by James Watt and completed on the 1790s) now disappears into a culvert on the eastern boundary of Glasgow near Drumpellier Country Park, and then re-appears at the Pinkston junction about six miles away just east of the City Centre (marked by the foam just below the life belt in the lower photograph).</p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/mobklandcanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobklandcanal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/m8" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>m8</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/jameswatt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jameswatt</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>A stone tramway leading up Cleveden Crescent Lane in the west of Glasgow. Consisting of slabs of smoothed granite, they reduced the friction between cartwheels and cobbled streets, while the setts in between the tramways provided grip for the horses' hooves.

This Is My Glasgow<p>Is this the original 1780 mile stone? I don't know, but its style, its wear, the script used on it and the unusual wording (using 'distance from' rather than 'distance to') all suggest this earliest possible date is certainly feasible.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/milestone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>milestone</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/greenock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greenock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/paisley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paisley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/paisleyroadwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paisleyroadwest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/turnpike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>turnpike</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Mile stones like this became compulsory on all turnpike roads in the UK in 1767, and this particular stone is on the route of the turnpike between Glasgow, Paisley and Greenock which was created in 1780. This makes me suspect that the mile stone after which Two Mile House was named was installed when this turnpike opened. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/milestone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>milestone</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/greenock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greenock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/paisley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paisley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/paisleyroadwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paisleyroadwest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/turnpike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>turnpike</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>On a map from the 1810s (shown on the bottom here) is a house marked Two Mile House, the distance to Glasgow given on the stone. This makes me think the house is named after the distance on the stone (rather than the other way round), possibly pushing that date back to the start of the 1800s. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/milestone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>milestone</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/greenock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greenock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/paisley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paisley</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/paisleyroadwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paisleyroadwest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/turnpike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>turnpike</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Hidden behind this tree on Paisley Road West in the Ibrox area of Glasgow is this mile stone. On one side it reads 2 miles from Glasgow (pointing east towards the city), while on the other its says 5 miles from Paisley, 21 miles from Greenock (pointing west). The stone is heavily worn, and the script used looks old, but just how is it? Well, it appears on a map from the mid-1800s, but I think it's quite a bit older than that. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/milestone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>milestone</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/greenock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greenock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/paisley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paisley</span></a></p>
