Day 147: Let Glasgow Flourish

This is outside Glasgow Cathedral and the emblems represent miracles supposedly performed by the patron saint, St Mungo, and are listed in the traditional rhyme:

Here's the bird that never flew

Here's the tree that never grew

Here's the bell that never rang

Here's the fish that never swam

St Mungo is also said to have preached a sermon containing the words Lord, Let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of the word and the praising of thy name. This was abbreviated to "Let Glasgow Flourish" and adopted as the city's motto.

Day 142: The Tiger "Lucky Eight" Mural, Glasgow

Day 136: Just caught the lights changing on the Inchinnan Bascule Bridge

In early times a ford or ferry helped people cross the Black and White Cart to reach the small town of Inchinnan. In 1759 a nine-arched stone bridge was constructed where the two rivers met. However, this meant that ships sailing up to Paisley had to lower their masts – slow, hard work – to pass through. A canal was then constructed to get round the problem, first with a swing bridge and, in 1923, with the present bascule bridge.

‘Bascule’ is French for a seesaw or balance. This type of bridge, introduced in the 1850s became widespread as a means to maintain a roadway while allowing a ship to pass through when required. Tower Bridge, London, is the best known example.

Day 130: Govan Women Mosaic Mural

This mural is one of several built on the wall between the tenements of Govan and the shipyards and is entitled "Govan Women". The designs had to be very exact, and so computers were used to make the final drawings. Each 1 inch tile on the mosaic represents one "pixel" of the computerised drawing.
