So much so that I can say the wall didn't have the reinforcement railing, and I am possibly (partially) responsible for why it now does.

1899 former bank in #Greenock with symbols of trade and power all over it. If it looks familiar to Glaswegians it's because the Connel offices in West George Street are by the same architect, James Thomson. The details here are even finer however.

Ginger the Horse. This sculpture stands in Cathcart Street #Greenock . It is is dedicated to to the powerful workhorses that carried goods from the docks in Greenock and delivered them to factories high up in the hills.
The sad story of Ginger is told on the plaque on the second photo.
