Inside 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.

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.

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.
