Nelson's Monument Glasgow Green


The Nelson Monument on Glasgow Green is a 144-foot (44 m) tall stone obelisk built in 1806 to commemorate the naval victories of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson. It is notable for being the first civic monument in Britain erected in Nelson's honour, preceding the more famous Nelson's Column in London's Trafalgar Square by over 30 years.

Gilmorehill Centre




Gilmorehill Parish Church was designed by architect James Sellars in 1878, as the Anderston Free Church. Located at the foot of University Avenue, it was built in a Normandy Gothic style. It was acquired by the University of Glasgow in 1963 and converted into an examination hall.

In the 1990s the church was converted again, to become the Gilmorehill Centre. The state-of-the-art Department of Theatre Film and Television Studies is housed there, with a theatre and cinema open to the public.
