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).

Finnieston Church

 Finnieston Church by James Sellars, one of his last Greek designs very much influenced by Alexander Thomson. Shame about the filled in pediment although it reduces pigeon perching places.

A beautiful church which has been sympathetically converted to flats.

Drill Hall Berkley Street

Victorian drill hall squashed between two sandstone tenements,unusual as most brick buildings at the time were factories and warehouses.

The building was used by the Sikh community as a palace of worship.

The building can be found on Berkley Street.
