      Interesting, not sure about a few things that you appeared to avoid. Are you saying that The Tron Theatre was originally a Roman Catholic Church? It appears that you don't want to acknowledge or respect that Glasgow was Catholic, and becoming more Catholic as I post this.

      It’s amazing what you walk by and don’t fully realise the history behind it, when I was in Glasgow in August my sister pointed to a gap between two tenements down near the Clyde tunnel on the Govan side which housed a petrol station now and told me the missing tenement had been destroyed in a German bombing raid which killed the occupants one dire night, it’s astonishing what’s hidden in plane site, great video mate 😊

      The condition of the tron theatre is a disgrace. Stinks of urine graffiti and St Mungo is flaking away. I was shocked recently on a walk around Glasgow Green. The people's palace is closed. Makes me sad. Thanks for you video. We need to save our history.

      Another great video. Will need to look up for the skull next time I'm on Parnie Street.
      I remember reading years ago that the first proper pavement in Glasgow was built outside the Tontine.

      There's nothing better than watching a laddie cycle around Glasgow while telling us all the information he's researched, and all that while sitting in comfort with a wee cuppa tea and a biscuit. Keep up the good work Dave.

      I think that the unfortunate Mr Burns was a city night watchman, who were also under the control of the police at the time.
      They manned static stations around the city.
