This Is My GlasgowInside the remains of the Springburn Winter Gardens. Designed by the hothouse builders Simpson and Farmer, with iron work by William Baird of Temple ironworks, it was built in 1899. It fell out of use after it was damaged by a storm in 1983, and was almost demolished in 1985. However, it was saved after being given A-listed status due to its architectural importance. However, it remains derelict and is considered critically at risk.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/springburn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#springburn</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/springburnpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#springburnpark</a>

This Is My GlasgowThe main entrance of James Miller's magnificent 1903 offices for the North British Locomotive Compnay on Flemington Street in the Springburn area of Glasgow.
