While the square Hayward Prismatic Pavement Lights (patented in 1871) can still be found across Glasgow, Hyatt Lights with their round lenses are an older version, being patented in 1845, and are much rarer.

In fact, the 1854 tobacco warehouse on James Watt Street in Anderston where I took this picture is the only place I've seen them so far in the city.

The memorial on James Watt Street in Glasgow to the 22 people who died in a fire at a furniture warehouse in November 1968.

Most died because the windows still had bars on them from the days when the building was a bonded whisky warehouse, and the only escape route was blocked by a padlocked door, meaning there was no way out.
