If we want to improve Glasgow's economic situation, we don't necessarily need new buildings, we need to make the most of the ones we already have. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #builtheritage

This police box on Buchanan Street is part of Glasgow's built heritage. The concept of police boxes was invented in the city. Tourists love to be photographed in front of it due to its association with Dr Who. Cont./ #glasgow #buchananstreet #policebox #builtheritage

I'm going to have a small exhibition of some of my photos of Glasgow and its built heritage on Sat 6th of June from 12 noon until 5pm at the New Glasgow Society space at 1307 Argyle Street in the West End of Glasgow, if you're in the area, drop by and say hi. Cont./ #glasgow #builtheritage

It's also B-listed as it's one of the few police boxes in the city which are still in their original location. So why has it been allowed to be turned into an advertising hoarding which hides almost all of its key features? #glasgow #buchananstreet #policebox #builtheritage
