Henry Healy 

Founded in 1912,  Henry Healy built up his business from selling eggs in a cart to owning 30 stores across the city. Although the business went into receivership in 2009, there are still a few shops dotted around the city. This shop was in Mitchell Street and sadly was closed a number of years ago.

Building of College and Printing

 



The tower of  Building and Printing overlooks George Square, its hard to ignore its 14 floors as it dominates the area. Its probably fair to say that its disliked my most Glaswegian's, the building was given  B listed status.

The tower was built by Wylie and Shanks, it opened its doors in 1964,at one point the college had 20,000 thousand students.

Hopefully the tower can be repurposed as its very run down.
