See you took a picture of Crown Circus. Glad you like it. A bit of info for you ….. the ‘pleasure gardens’ to the front of the Circus were renovated in the last 5 years part funded by the Residents and by Glasgow Conservation Trust West. The railings you see were re-instated to the original design and the entire gardens re-instated – not many people realise how they are maintained. Have a look at http://www.gordonurquhart.com/projects72a.pdf (page 4) for some before and after shots. Also Google Earth shows the gardens before renovation (at least till they update it).
Next …. hopefully, the façade of the Circus.
