"Glasgow’s tenements are widely known and recognised, but not many people know what they actually looked like back in the 20th century. The now Tenement Museum used to be home to Agnes Toward, a shorthand typist whose possessions and furniture haven’t moved since her departure in 1965. Now, the tenement house offers a real window to Glasgow’s past, through furniture and objects that remain intact and extensive info on its history."

One of the most visible old stations in Glasgow - you can still look down on to the old platforms from the open-air roof vents in the Botanic Gardens. The building was converted into shops after the station's 1939 closure and by the late 1960s was occupied by a popular café called 'The Silver Slipper', a nightclub called 'Sgt. Peppers' and a plumbers shop, 'Morton's'. It was ravaged by fire on the night of March 22 1970 - it remains derelict to this day.

In some blocks like the Gorbals, 50 neighbours would be sharing the one outdoor toilet and back court tap. Tenements brought together incredibly tight-knit communities to the city, now the amount of people that used to live on your street all live in the one big sandstone building, and the streets in the city are lined with them.

The former BHS site on Sauchiehall Street was added to the building at-risk register list last year. Speaking about the building which has been empty since 2016, Historic Environment Scotland said: “There are a few sections of panels which are missing or damaged under the canopy and on the store frontage. There is some peeling paint on the store frontage as well. There is light vegetation growth on the canopy. The upper glazing appears intact. The lower openings and glazing are covered and appear secure.”
