This morning, the 2019 Listed Building Consent Application for the demolition of the ‘C’ listed former ABC #Glasgow Cinema 👀👇 goes before the Planning Applications Committee. On behalf of Glaswegians they have to weigh this up and decide what matters most for our city 🧐🤷‍♂️? 1/5 Is it:
1 The owner’s evident desire for a cleared site which will undoubtedly raise its value;
2 Building Control wanting a potential threat to public safety gone; or,
3 Saving a great symbol of Glasgow’s golden age of cinema which has significant social heritage value 🤔? 2/5

Was packing up to head home, when a lovely European couple knocked on the door of @GlasgowHeritage. They wanted to know all about #Glasgow. Well, they came to the right place 😆! 30mins later they were on their merry way with top tips & leaflets + they left a nice tip 🥰👍! 1/4 Serious points though as 1. With @VisitScotland closing all their tourist information centres I don’t think there’s anywhere else in the city centre you can get this kind of knowledgeable and friendly advice about #Glasgow, its history and useful tips on what to visit…🤔?! 2/4

I’ve been involved in efforts to save the Sir John Maxwell School for a while so it was with a heavy heart I viewed this👇on site yesterday. Sadly, such an uncontrolled collapse, which happened at a known weak point in the building fabric, means the game is probably up…😔! 1/4 What these images show is how: the roof is no longer supported; the wall directly below the collapse is bowing out due to the eccentric loading caused by the weight of masonry and roof timbers pressing down onto the top floor; and, exposed brick walls have lost their mortar 2/4
