@zygoticdeb @DJSuperLemon1 @lachlangoudie Yeah, that's the one. Nimbyism at its finest. What a victory for the people of Glasgow. W00t.
David Rhind's 1849 feu plan for Pollokshields, commissioned by Sir John Maxwell, 10th Baronet of Pollok. The plan didn't quite pan out according to Rhind's vision though the pattern of villas west of Shields Rd and tenements to the east.
@Jenmccarey @brucc170 There's no actual legal right of way there, its just a path/desire line that became formalised (i.e. tarmacd) over the years and didn't actually exist until the 18th c tenement at 151/153 was demolished in the 70s. The stretch of London Rd Glickmans is on is Lamb's Pass
Hopes dashed already 😬
What has Brunswick St and the city grid ever done to deserve this?😒 https://t.co/DDlJv0SFgA
I mentioned another version exists, also by Knox, rather crudely showing the lightning strike in action. Currently in the @hunterian collection, image below from https://t.co/qYgkkzMQrl
Nelson's Monument on Glasgow Green, by John Knox. Saw this in the drawing room of @TheGeorgianNTS in Edinburgh. Had a lovely chat with the volunteer guides about the detail of the damage to the top of it from the lightning strike in 1810
Or dipping into the ancient past, Govan’s Moot or Doomster Hill. A huge terraced mound surrounded by a ditch and bank, turned into a reservoir by a dye works, and later obliterated by a ship yard
