    Gorbals St, part of the east side south of Cleland St.  

November 1973
    Gorbals St, west side at Bedford Lane. 

The buildings are 1, a small warehouse of c1907 which was distinguished by a pair of cast-iron grotesque faces at first-floor level (wish I had thought to photograph them); 2,  the splendid art nouveau British Linen Bank building (James Salmon jnr, 1900); 3, Gorbals Public Baths and Washhouse (John Carrick, 1885), to which the chimney belonged. All three survived for  several years after the rest of Gorbals St had been redeveloped, but now only the Bank building remains, derelict and with an uncertain future.  

October 1973
