2/2 We presented on setting up a Shed and shared lots of inspirational stories and anecdotes, accompanied by some great banter over tea and sausage rolls. We’re really looking forward to returning there when the Shed opens in the not-too-distant future 👍

Demolition sadly continues at the ABC, revealing more layers & details. Removal of the 1926 facade reveals more of the original 1870s octagonal brick panorama building behind; & also just how solidly built the 1929 foyer block with lifts and stair core is increasingly obvious.

Thread: Unlike most British cities there’s solid, high quality Victorian architecture still intact at the heart of Glasgow’s working class districts. So much has been lost but what remains is pretty damn good. Imagine everything pictured here carefully added to. ✨1. Possilpark
