    Gallowgate, north side at Bellgrove St. 

Bellgrove Bar at the near corner. 

January 1974
    Gallowgate, south side east of Claythorn St. 

The 1771 house with the nepus gable has been nicely restored but has lost its neighbours. Nepus gables were a common enough device in 17th and 18th century Scottish vernacular architecture, even in Glasgow, but I can’t think of another surviving example in the city.

    Gallowgate, south side west of Claythorn St. 

Of an only slightly later date, c1780, this has also been well restored, and these two houses show what can be done but all too seldom is.
