This Is My Glasgow<p>The Submariners' Memorial in Elder Park in Glasgow. It's principally dedicated to the 32 people who died when the submarine K13 sank during sea trials in the Gare Loch in 1917, including 6 employees from the nearby Fairfield Shipyard where it had been built. Miraculously, 48 of the people who were on board at the time were successfully rescued after some 60 hours trapped at the bottom of the sea.</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/elderpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderpark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/submarine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>submarine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govanfairfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govanfairfield</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/memorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memorial</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The janitor's house of the former 1901 Greenfield Primary School in Glasgow. A janitor's cottage was a feature of almost all Glasgow schools, and those built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras are often little architectural gems in their own right.</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/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/elderpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderpark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/jannies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jannies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/janitorscottage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>janitorscottage</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowschools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowschools</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>J.E Boehm's 1888 sculpture of John Elder in Elder Park in Govan. Beside him is a model of the compound inverted vertical steam engine he invented, which dramatically improved the efficiency of steam engines. As well as being renowned as an inventor, shipbuilder and engineer, Elder was also greatly respected for the way he treated his workers. </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/shipbuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shipbuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/johnelder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>johnelder</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/elderpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderpark</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The SS Daphne Memorial in Elder Park in the Govan area of Glasgow. Erected in memory of the 124 people, many of whom were little more than boys, who died when the SS Daphne capsized during its launch on the 3rd of July 1883. Created by John McArthur, this is one of a pair of identical memorials. The other is in Victoria Park on the north side of the Clyde.</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/memorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memorial</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/theclyde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theclyde</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ssdaphne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ssdaphne</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/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/elderpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderpark</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The derelict remnants of Fairfield Farm Cottage in Govan. The farm was purchased in Isabella Elder in the 1880s and turned into Elder Park for the people of Govan. The cottage, which dates from the early 19th Century, was originally used as an amenity for the park. One of the few former farm buildings left in Glasgow, it's B-Listed, but now lies abandoned, fenced off and decaying.</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/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/elderpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderpark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/buildingsatrisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>buildingsatrisk</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>It's great to see the scaffolding is finally off the Elder Park Library in the Govan area of Glasgow, and apparently it's scheduled to soon re-open. Designed in an Edwardian Baroque style by J.J. Burnet, it was built in 1902 with funding from Isabella Elder. It was opened by the Scottish-American Steel Magnate Andrew Carnegie,&nbsp;who himself was no stranger to funding the construction of new libraries.</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/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowlibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowlibraries</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/publiclibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publiclibrary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/elderpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderpark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The former Greenfield Primary School in the Elderpark area of Glasgow. Built in 1901, it was designed by Steele and Balfour. Despite being B-listed, it is now derelict, yet it's an impressive old building with huge potential. It also has its own swimming pool where many local children learned to swim, including Sir Alex Ferguson.</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/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/elderpark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elderpark</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/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/oldschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oldschool</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/abandonedspaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abandonedspaces</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/abandonedglasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abandonedglasgow</span></a></p>
