The Steamie. Whitevale Baths, Dennistoun, built in 1901 it had separate men and women’s swimming pools, hot baths, showers and a wash house ‘Steamie’ with 66 washing stalls. The men’s pool could be drained to create a 500 seater concert venue! Amazing! #glasgow #thesteamie

✨Friday Fun✨ What's in a name? Let's travel back in time to explore where the name Kelvingrove Park originated. Currently a people's favourite, it carries a loaded history in its name: a linen merchant, a long-gone mansion & a skate park!🛹 #Glasgow bit.ly/3JclKp2

In 1990, to mark our reign as European City of Culture, both Glasgow School of Art and the Templeton Carpet Factory appeared on UK stamps.

A great photo from August 1954 showing the new Woolworth's shop at corner of Langlands Road and Golspie Street being fitted out by Leeds based shop fitting firm John Curtis & Son. The building had originally been built as Govan EU Church.

Life was much simpler back then, but it was still all about keeping appearances! 💁🏻‍♀️ If you haven’t seen a wally close already, don’t worry! You can spot them all over Glasgow and we may even take a peek at some point 👀 In the meantime, check out @TnmntTiles & @BehindTiles!

Back in the days, you would measure your neighbours’ status based on how clean they kept the close 🧹 This was done on a rota basis & if the close wasn’t spotless after you cleaned it, it would suggest that neither would your house! 🏠😱

⚡️FUN FACT⚡️Wally Closes🟩 Wally closes have always been a major thing in #Glasgow tenements. Wally is a Scots word for ceramic & is used in all sorts of contexts: wally dugs 🐕 (traditional dog-shaped ceramic figures); wallies as in somebody’s fake🦷; or feeling peely wally 🥴
