This Is My Glasgow<p>One of the Cochrane Street entrances to Glasgow City Chambers. Built in the 1880s, it was designed by William Young. The two figures in the spandrels above the arch seen to represent Literature (on the left reading a book) and Music (on the right playing a lyre). All in all, not bad for a side entrance!</p><p><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/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowcitychambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowcitychambers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/arch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/doorway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doorway</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>The entrance to the City Chambers on George Square in Glasgow decorated for Christmas 2023. When I was a kid, going along to see the lights on George square was one of my favourite things to do. That and going to the Carnival at the Kelvin Hall.</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/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/citychambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>citychambers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowcitychambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowcitychambers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/christmas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christmas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/christmaslights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christmaslights</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/georgesquare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>georgesquare</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Glasgow coat of arms on the triumphal arches on John Street linking Glasgow City Chambers, built in 1888, and its later extensions.</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/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowcoatofarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowcoatofarms</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowcitychambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowcitychambers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>I love the sculptures on the triumphal arches on John Street which link the 1880s Glasgow City Chambers with the later Cochrane Street extension. There's just so many layers of intricate detail, and no doubt symbolism, too.</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/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</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/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowcitychambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowcitychambers</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Treasurer of Police Letterbox on a door to the 1880s Glasgow City Chambers.
