Eglinton St, west side between Cook St and Wallace St, after some recent demolition. The Coliseum Bar was notable for a collection of photographs on display, showing stars of music-hall and cinema who had popped in for a quick one after a show or a premiere at the Coliseum across the road. I suppose the roof in the foreground must have belonged to the old Bridge St subway station. December 1973

The Great Synagogue in South Portland St, which opened in 1901 and had only recently closed. July 1973

Langbank St and Eglinton St. Langbank St enjoyed the distinction of being the shortest street in Glasgow, being only the depth of a tenement block long. No-one lived in it, but I think a scrappy operated from the railway arch which terminated the street. September 1973

same, demolition imminent. May 1974
