Spotted this ghost sign for M&A Browns, a bakers, cooks, and confectioners located at 380 Great Western Road. According to the West End Address Archive, it dates back to 1898. A glimpse into local history before it was quickly covered over again.

@PaulJSweeney @MurphyNiallGLA @JillBGlasgow @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow @SChurchesTrust @theAHSS @SAVEBrit @createstreets @is_glasgow @GlasgowWEToday More of the total disregard for Glasgow’s historical architecture that we’ve come to expect. Absolute madness. Objection letter sent. Thanks for the insight Paul.

@Plusnet Hello, I’m a new customer. Is it possible to change my account username?

@matthaig1 Counting down the days. It’s the book on my wish list I am most looking forward to.

@PastGlasgow Believe that’s the roof of the long-gone Woodside Church visible in the distance, to the right. The site was later occupied by a petrol station.

@PastGlasgow Brick terrace, cobbled street, tram… 1962 wins hands down.

@GlasgowCC Decades late and you come up with something that sounds this weak: “[The Commission] cannot reasonably be expected to save every historic building in Glasgow, or intervene in statutory Planning or Building Standards activities, decisions, or duties.”

@PaulJSweeney @MurphyNiallGLA @PhilipBraat @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow @reglasgow_web @is_glasgow @newglasgowsoc @GlasgowHeritage @theAHSS @urbanrealm This is an appalling decision, but sadly the norm. Time is running out for @GlasgowCC to change track and preside over the preservation of what’s left of Glasgow’s stunning historical architecture, instead of its destruction.

@PaulJSweeney @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow @is_glasgow @MurphyNiallGLA @GlasgowHeritage @gbptrust @newglasgowsoc @SpringburnCC @ThomasLabour @reglasgow_web This is fantastic news, and a relief. Thank you @PaulJSweeney 🙏

@PixByPedro @GlasgowWEToday @DiscoverGlasgow @RiderGlasgow This unique perspective highlights just how much space has been given over to cars. Repurposing lanes with a reintroduced light rail system and active travel pathways can create a more liveable and inviting boulevard while benefiting local businesses. @AngusCMillar @ReplacetheM8

@PaulJSweeney @GlasgowHeritage @MurphyNiallGLA @theAHSS @gbptrust @is_glasgow @newglasgowsoc @GordonBarr @RailwayHeritage @LostGlasgow @PastGlasgow Too many iconic buildings have already been lost in Glasgow over the decades in the hands of @GlasgowCC. Please do everything you can to stop this one being another, @PaulJSweeney, and let us know if we can help.

Aside from causing frustration and damage, the potholes around St George’s Cross offer a peek into Glasgow's past, revealing the beauty of its historic cobbled streets.

Good news for commuters in Scotland. The off-peak all-day ticket trial is being extended by @ScotRail, a company wholly owned by @scotgov. When we own it, we can make decisions for people rather than private profit.

Banning LGBTQ+ education will not change the identity of a single child. What it will do is make thousands of LGBTQ kids feel alone and othered. I lived through section 28. It almost killed me. It did kill a close friend of mine. This must be fought.

@GlasgowCC This is Glasgow, so naturally, there must be a major road running through it. Meanwhile, other cities worldwide are shifting towards bold urban revitalisation, turning expressways into parks, creating popular destinations for locals and visitors alike.

@cocteautriplets @f0rmat @GlasgowCC The historical significance and nostalgia of Glasgow trams still captivate. Your map really adds to my fascination, igniting an interest in urban planning, and helping to envision their return. So thank you for creating it. Would love to see a print version available one day!

[Ewan Shaw Ⓥ (he/him) @shaawewa]

This fascinating map by @cocteautriplets beautifully illustrates the extensive Glasgow tram network in 1938, with over 1,000 municipally-owned trams connecting communities as distant as Clydebank and Airdrie. Imagine if @GlasgowCC could resurrect even a fraction of this today.
