Love these ornate hinges on the 1860s former Foundry Boys Religious Society Church on Tharsis Street in the east of Glasgow.

Its aim was to provide a social diversion and spiritual guidance for young men who worked in Glasgow's many iron foundries on an ad-hoc basis, and who had a tendency to roam the streets, often causing a nuisance.
I love how this mid-Victorian church on Tharsis Street in the east of Glasgow is set into the slope of Garngad Hill. Originally, St Rollox Church, in 1894, it became home to the St Rollox branch of the Foundry Boys Religious Society, an organisation created in the Olympia Music Hall in the Cowcaddens area of the city in 1865.
