Main door to the former Printing Works on Darnley Street in Pollokshields, Glasgow. Designed by D.B. Dobson and built in 1902, the snake-headed hinges at the bottom of the door are a particularly nice touch.

This is a beautif decorative Art Nouveau metal plaque of Neptune in a doorway of the Miller and Lang building on Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

I love this building on the corner of Albert Drive and Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow, not just for its design, which is great, but because it was home to the wonderfully-named Glasgow Laundry and Carpet Beating Works.

Love this bow window topped by a candle snuffer roof with dorner windows on Nithsdale Road in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

Love this red sandstone tenement on the corner of Kildrostan Street and Terregles Avenue, especially the tradional ground floor commercial space.

Pollokshields Burgh Hall in Glasgow. Built in 1890 in a Scots Renaissance style from a design by H.E. Clifford.

Love the barge-boarded gable and the brattishing above the bay window below it on this 1880s villa in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

Love the quality of the craftsmanship on this sandstone sculpture of Jesus as a child on the remains of the 1891 Pollokshields-Gelencairn Church in Glasgow. How on earth they managed to carve the folds in material quite so exquisitely, I really don't know.

One of the many grand Victorian villas in the western part of Pollokshields in Glasgow. This is a reminder that this area of the city started life as a carefully planned garden suburb. Created in 1851, it was one of the first such garden suburbs in the UK. I particularly like the central dormer window on this particular villa.

The former Miller and Lang Print Works on Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Built in 1902 and designed by D.B. Dobson, it's one of the most distinctive Art Nouveau commercial building in the city. The dragon on the drainpipe on the right-hand side is a particularly impressive touch.

Love the corner tower on this red sandstone tenement on Melville Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

Saint Mungo on the facade of Saint Ninian's Church on Pollokshaws Road on the Southside of Glasgow. You can tell it's Saint Mungo because of the dead fish with the ring in its mouth at the base of the statue. The metalwork beside him are attachments for the overhead electrical wires which used to power the city's trams.

Love the bow windows on these blonde sandstone Victorian tenements on Glencairn Drive in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

Persimmon fruit tiles in a tenement close in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

Blonde sandstone Victorian tenements on Glencairn Drive in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Just love those big curvy corner windows!

I love a candle-snuffer roof. You see them all across Glasgow on buildings ranging from tenements and town houses through villas, like this one in Pollokshields, to grand municipal and commercial buildings. They're part of the Scots Baronial architectural tradition.

I know I've posted this dragon before, but it's so cute, I couldn't resist posting it again. It can be found on the 1902 Art Nouveau style Miller and Lang Print Works at 50 Darnley Street in the Pollokshields area Glasgow, and by far it's my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in the city.

Sherbrooke Mosspark Parish Church on Nithsdale Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by William Forsyth MacGibbon in a 13th Century French Gothic style, it was built in 1900 (with the hall on the left built a few years earlier in 1894). It was badly damaged by a fire in 1994, but it has since been beautifully restored.

The double entrance to the 1907 Edwardian Baroque Pollokshields District Library on the Southside of Glasgow.

A rather unusual, but still rather beautiful, tile design from a tenement in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
