Kinning Park Pumping Station, Milnpark Street in Glasgow. Built the early 1900s as the pumping station for the shiedhall sewage works complex, it held two vertical marine pumps. It was designed by D and A Home Morton with a substructure by W C Easton, and I love the way the roof line mirrors the curves of the windows along the right hand side.

Love the font and the craquelure on this sign painted by one of the doors on the former our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School in Kinning Park in Glasgow

The former Our Lady and St Margaret Primary School on Stanley Street in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow. Built on a palazzo-scale, it was designed by Bruce and Hay in 1910. Interestingly, the playground for this school was on its roof!

Cart entrance to the former Kinning Park Colour Works on Milnpark Road in Glasgow, featuring the original 1890s doors and a fantastic polychromatic brickwork archway.

Former Our Lady and St Margaret's Presbytery (foreground) and Primary School (background). The presbytery was designed by Pugin and Pugin, and built in 1882, the primary school was designed by Bruce and Hay and built in 1910. Believe it or not, these buildings are C-Listed.

Decorative ironwork at 1 Stanley Street in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow. I'm presuming this is associated with the former British Linen Bank on the corner of Stanley Street and Paisley Road West.

The Renaissance Style former Ogg Brothers Drapery Warehouse at Paisley Road Toll in Glasgow. Designed by Bruce and Hay and built in the 1880s, this is a major southside landmark. The winged statue which sits on the top of it is officially called the Spirit of Commerce and Industry, but is known to most people as either the Kinning Park Angel or Mrs Ogg.
