This Is My Glasgow<p>Love this sculpture over the entrance the former North British Locomotive Company building in the Springburn area of Glasgow. The chains on either side are those used to pull the completed locomotive through the streets of Glasgow (originally done by teams of cart horses, but later by steam traction engines and diesel tractors) and down to the banks of the Clyde so they could be loaded onto ships and transported all over the world. </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/springburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>springburn</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/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>British Rail Engineering Ltd branding on the gates of Saint Rollox House in the Springburn area of Glasgow. Built for the Caledonain Railway Company in the 1880s, it was formerly the home to Saint Rollox Locomotive Works. After nationalisation, it became part of British Rail Engineering Limited in 1968. Privatised in 1988, it went into decline and finally closed completely in 2019.</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/springburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>springburn</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/brel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/britishrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>britishrail</span></a></p>
