Suspension Bridge












Carlton Place suspension bridge by Alexander Kirkland 1851 connecting the city centre with Portland Street.

The 414 ft span was by George Martin,the towers were dismantled and rebuilt due to poor workmanship and inferior materials,the bridge was strengthened in 1871. 

Central Gurdwara Anderston












 Designed by Calford Seaden Architects the Central Gurdwara will play host to up to 1,500 worshippers, with three floors of underground parking offering space for 257 vehicles, which will be made publicly available when not in use.

The magnificent Sikh temple in Berkeley Street, Anderston has been five years in the building at a cost of £9 million.

The distinctive stone used in the building is limestone which came from India as did most of the materials.

The building has to be the most interesting addition to the Glasgow skyline for many a year.

Springburn Winter Gardens






 Springburn Winter Gardens was built in 1900 and was in active use until 1983, when a storm caused severe damage and planned demolition was stopped in 1985 when the building - the largest such structure in Scotland was granted listed status.

The restoration of the A listed Springburn Winter Gardens has taken a significant step forward with a £1.129million funding award from the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF), an award that was accepted by a Glasgow City Council committee today (23 April 2026).
