Decorative metalwork on the Albert Bridge in Glasgow. Built in 1868 to a design by Bell and Miller, it's the only substantial wrought-iron arched bridge in Scotland.

Like much of the minor sculptures and stonework in Glasgow, these feathres really help to give the city its characteristic feel, but too often we concentrate on protecting the big buildings by famous architects and not the small, once widespread features which play just as important a role in making Glasgow feel like Glasgow rather than just another urban area anywhere in the world.

Decorative ironwork and lamp above the door of 81 Parnie Street in Glasgow.

I love finding original bits of metalwork like this, however they're getting harder and harder to find as more and more of then get damaged and lost over time.
