If you ever wonder who designed, built and plastered 22 Park Circus in Glasgow, just nip round the back. As you can see at the bottom of this photo, the architect (James Boucher), the builder (R. McCord) and the plaster (James Steel Senior) all seem to have helpfully inscribed their names there!

Art Nouveau stained glass, ornate metal hinges, and elegantlty carved wood. What's not to love about this doorway on Park Circus in the west end of Glasgow?

Bootscrapers of Park Circus in the west end of Glasgow. Bootscrapers are very basic, functional item of metalwork, but I love all the different ways they've been made to look a bit more fancy. These have presumably been individually selected from a catelogue of designs by the first residents of each building.

A beautiful little bird-shaped bootscraper on Park Circus in the west end of Glasgow. This is a design for a bootscrsper I haven't come across in Glasgow before.

This is not the only design of boot scraper to be found in Glasgow, and more up-market buildings tended to have much more fancy free-standing boot scrapers, like this one from the nearby Park Circus area.

I've seen these small holes near the ground at the entrances to tenement closes in Glasgow for years, but only recently found what they are for.
They were there to house simple metal boot scrapers, and you can just see the remains of one here in this picture from a close on Argyle Street.

On the 21st day the #ParkCircus movement is still going strong & was visited today by Com @kavita_krishnan@twitter.com who told that these ladies are the inspiration for taking forward the movement against #CAA_NRC_NPR & told that she would take this experience to other parts of the country.
