This Is My Glasgow<p>The style of box shown in this picture replaced the original ones in the 1930s and unlike other parts of the UK, Glasgow police boxes were traditionally painted red rather than blue.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/policebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>policebox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/tarids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tarids</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/barrowlandspark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barrowlandspark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/macfarlaneandco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macfarlaneandco</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/saracenfoundry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saracenfoundry</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Police box beside Barrowland Park on the east end of Glasgow. Invented by Charles Eggar, a Glasgow fireman, police boxes first appeared on the city's streets in 1891. </p><p>The original signal boxes were hexagonal and made of cast iron by the Macfarlane and Co Saracen foundry. A similarilty in design strongly suggests it was based on a men's urinal already produced it that company.</p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/policebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>policebox</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/tarids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tarids</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/barrowlandspark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barrowlandspark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/macfarlaneandco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>macfarlaneandco</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/saracenfoundry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>saracenfoundry</span></a></p>

It took me a few minutes to realise that the usual leaf garland motif above the windows morphed into a strange face at the end.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/buildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowarchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowarchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/barrowlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barrowlands</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/barrowlandspark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>barrowlandspark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/strangeface" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strangeface</span></a></p>
