The Great Western Road Bridge over the River Kelvin at Kelvinbridge in the West End of Glasgow. Built in 1891, it was designed by Bell and Miller, with the iron work being created by William Arrol. It replaced an earlier bridge, the remains of which can still be seen under the current one.

Eyes in a gap in a wall on the Kelvin Walkway in the Kelvin Bridge area of Glasgow. I love the way the plants help to create the illusion of a more complete face emerging from the wall.

The former Lansdowne Parish Church on Great Western Road in Glasgow. Designed by John Honeyman, with sculptures by John Mossman, it was built in 1863.

Love the corner tourelles, topped with ogee domes and finials, on James Miller's 1897 Glasgow Style Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road in Glasgow.

Does anyone know the story behind this decorated block (of concrete?) which can be found behind Kelvinbridge Subway Station in Glasgow? I remember reading about it somewhere, but cannot find the source again.

Nightfall this evening on Belmont Street in the Kelvinbridge area of Glasgow, with the distinctive crown spire of the Kelvin Stevenson Memorial Church silhouetted against the sky.

The magnificent Caledonian Mansions at Kelvinbridge in the west end of Glasgow. Designed by James Miller in a Free Arts and Crafts/Glasgow Style, it was built in the 1890s for the Caledonian Railway Company.

The underside of the 1890 cast-iron bridge which carries Great Western Road over the River Kelvin in the West End of Glasgow. Standing at the edge of the water beneath it is the remains of one of the piers of the earlier bridge, built in 1840, which it replaced.

The underaide of a late Victorian castvrion bridge with the remains of a previous bridge still visible by the water beneath it.

The cast-iron steps up to Great Western Road from South Woodside Road in the West End of Glasgow. These are part of the bridge which carries Great Western Road over the River Kelvin. Designed by Bell and Miller, it was made by the Sir William Arrol Iron and Steel Works and it opened in 1891.

1929 Art Deco commercial building on Great Western Road in Glasgow. Designed by James Lindsay, it was originally built as a tearoom with shops on the ground floor. Rather ironically, given that Glasgow tea rooms aimed to provide a space where people could socialise away from the temptations of alcohol, it later became home to the legendary Cleopatra's Night Club, better known to almost everyone as Clatty Pat's.

I love the open cown on the top of the 1898 Kelvin Stevenson Memorial Church on Belmont Street in Glasgow, but I only noticed today that there's a line of animals around its base, which includes a fox, a sheep, a goat, some chickens, an owl, and around the back (so not visible in this photo), what appears to be a gorilla. I need to go back with a pair of binoculars to see if this last one is correct or if it's actually something else.

A stone tramway on South Woodside Road leading down and under the 1890s Great Western Road Bridge over the river Kelvin in Glasgow. They're designed to make it easier for horses to pull carts up steep hills paved with cobbles.

The less commonly photographed rear elevation of James Miller's Glasgow Style Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road in Glasgow. These windows originally looked directly down on to the platforms of the old Kelvin Bridge Railway Station, and if you peek over the wall in the foreground, you can still see the remains of the station below you.

I love the pierced stonework on the parapet of the Belmont Street Bridge over the River Kelvin in the West End of Glasgow, which was built around 1870. The shading produced by lichens and mosses growing on it just adds to its visual impact.

A circle of pierced stonework on thr parapet of a Victorian bridge. The lower half of it is covered with a variety of lichens and mosses, while the upper half remains bare stone.

A group of 1890s structures on the banks of the River Kelvin where it flows through the West End of Glasgow. To the left are the arches of the old Kelvin Bridge Railway Station, opened in 1896. Above this is Caledonian Mansions, James Millar's 1897 Glasgow Style gem, and to the right is Bell and Miller's 1890 Cast Iron Kelvin Bridge.
