Gorbals St, west side at Bedford Lane. The buildings are 1, a small warehouse of c1907 which was distinguished by a pair of cast-iron grotesque faces at first-floor level (wish I had thought to photograph them); 2, the splendid art nouveau British Linen Bank building (James Salmon jnr, 1900); 3, Gorbals Public Baths and Washhouse (John Carrick, 1885), to which the chimney belonged. All three survived for a decade or so after the rest of Gorbals St had been redeveloped, but now only the Bank building remains, derelict and with an uncertain future. October 1973
