A lovely little set of Glasgow tenement tiles with an autumn feel to them. They're from a close in Hyndland.

I seem to have got my eye in recently for spotting gorgeous examples of tenement tiles as I wander around Glasgow. These come from a close in Broomhill in the west if the city.

Lone Survivor: It always seems rather sad to come across an orphaned tenement which has been left standing when all its neighbours have been demolished. This one is on Keppochhill Road in Glasgow.

If you've ever wondered what the retail spaces on the ground floors of many Glasgow tenements would have originally looked like, there's a short run of shops, im Broomhill, starting at 308 Crow Road, which all seem to have retained most of their original frontages.

Scottish tenement night latch keys. These odd-looking keys were used to open the latch on the communal close doors in Scottish tenements between the late 1700s and the early 1900s. Some were still in use as recently as the 1980s.

It seems that in the west end of Glasgow even squirrels live in tenement buildings!

Love this tiling from a tenement close in Hyndland in Glasgow.

Fulton Street Tenement in the Temple area of Glasgow. I really love how much of a feature has been made of chimneys on this building, which look more like battlements, and I'm presuming the railings invetween indicate the presence of a roof garden/drying green, too.

Whitevale Public Bath in the east end of Glasgow.
Designed by AB McDonald and opened in 1902 when few Glasgow tenements had indoor bathrooms, such public baths were an important part of local communities.
This one was more impressive than most, boasting separate men's and women's swimming pools, hot baths, showers, a washhouse with sixty six separate stations for washing clothes, a Turkish bath and a gym.

Glasgow's traditional red sandstone tenements, like this one in Hyndland, just glow when the sun is out.
If you look at the right hand end of this photo, you'll see a modern replacement built to fill in a gap site left when the original tenement has been demolished. This one is quite a good example of how to blend old and new.

These tenements on Hathaway Lane in Maryhill have a feature I've not come across elsewhere: rubbish chutes. They look like a later addition rather than an original feature.

This is not the only design of boot scraper to be found in Glasgow, and more up-market buildings tended to have much more fancy free-standing boot scrapers, like this one from the nearby Park Circus area.

I've seen these small holes near the ground at the entrances to tenement closes in Glasgow for years, but only recently found what they are for.
They were there to house simple metal boot scrapers, and you can just see the remains of one here in this picture from a close on Argyle Street.

A rather beautiful reflief sculpture under an Oriel Bay Window on a tenement on Firhill Street in Maryhill, Glasgow.
I love the fact that while all the bay windows in this block of tenements are decorated in this way, each one is unique.
