I've walked, run, driven and cycled up Bryres Road in Glasgow hubdreds of times, but only noticed this remnant of Glasgow's long-gone electric trolleybus/tram network for the first tine yesterday. It's at the junction with Great Western Road opposite Oran Mor.

Entrance to the south wing of the Saint Andrew's Power Station on Victoria Road in Glasgow.

This power station was designed by A. Myles and was built in 1899 for the Glasgow Corporation Electricity Department. As such, it's a reminder that Glasgow once had a near-circular economy where much of the money spend on things like electricity went straight back into the coffers of the city and not the pockets of distant shareholders.

Glasgow Corporation Water Works access cover from a street in Finnieston in Glasgow. This is a very functional item of street furniture, but there's something very pleasing about its design.
