The water tower and old buildings of Stobhill Hospital in the Springburn area of Glasgow. Designed by Thomson and Sandilands, and opened in 1904, Stobhill Hospital is one of the few remaining large complexes built as a Poor Law Hospital to care for those who could not afford to pay for treatment before the creation of the National Health Service.

The entrance to Saint Rollox House in the Springburn area of Glasgow. Built in 1887 using the classic polychromatic brick style of Glasgow's industrial buildings, it was once the office for the Saint Rollox Railway Works.

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.
