Glasgow’s Hydraulic Power System Access Plate Print (Mounted Size 10 inch by 12 inch)

Glasgow’s Hydraulic Power System Access Plate A4 Mounted Print

We offer free 2nd class shipping by Royal Mail to UK addresses on all prints.

This print shows an access cover embedded in a Glasgow street with the letters H and P on either side of a central keyhole. Such plates mark the routes where cast-iron pipes, with inch-thick walls, once carried high pressure water under there city’s streets to power machines and lifts in workshops and buildings across Glasgow. Built in 1895, Glasgow was the only city in Scotland, and one of only four in the UK, to have such a system. At the time, it was a ground-breaking method for providing centralised power, meaning that each individual location no longer needed its own steam engines to provide localised power. Instead, water was pressurised using massive steam engines at a pumping station on High Street in central Glashow, and from here it was sent through thirty miles of pipes to locations all over the city. At its peak in the early 1900s, it supplied more than 200,000 gallons of high pressure water per year. However, despite its revolutionary nature, it was soon superseded by electricity as a major source of centralised power, and the system was finally closed down in 1964. Now pretty much all that remains of this more or less forgotten power system are these distinctive access covers embedded in the city’s streets.

The print itself is 7.25 inches by 9 inches (18.5 cm by 23cm), and it comes mounted in a white 1.5 inch (3.5 cm) mount with a total size of 10 inches by 12 inches (25.5 cm by 30.5cm).

Haghill Public School Ghost Sign Print (Mounted Size 10 inch by 12 inch)

Haghill Public School Ghost Sign Print A4 Mounted Print

We offer free 2nd class shipping by Royal Mail to UK addresses on all prints.

These ghost signs are carved into the gateposts of the former Haghill Public School in the East End of Glasgow. When it was built in 1904, all public schools in Glasgow were required to have separate entrances for boys and girls, and many also had separate entrances for infants. Designed by A. Lindsay Miller, the school was demolished in 2022, but the gateposts remain standing, and will hopefully be incorporated into the affordable housing planned for the site. The font used for these signs is very distinct, and is unique to this school. This was by no means unusual for Glasgow schools, and many had their own unique font for such signs.

The print itself is 7.25 inches by 9 inches (18.5 cm by 23cm), and it comes mounted in a white 1.5 inch (3.5 cm) mount with a total size of 10 inches by 12 inches (25.5 cm by 30.5cm).

La Pasionaria A4 Mounted Print

We offer free 2nd class shipping by Royal Mail to UK addresses on all prints.

A favourite of many people, this statue, on Clyde Street in Glasgow, is a memorial to the 2,100 British volunteers who fought for the Republican cause against Franco’s fascist forces in the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1939. Of these, 534 died, including 65 from Glasgow. The statue was created by Arthur Dooley and was erected in 1979. It features Dolores Ibarruri, known as La Pasionaria (the Passionflower), an activist renowned for her passionate speeches. The plinth for the statue (not shown in this photo) features Ibarruri’s slogan ‘It’s better to die on your feet than live for ever on your knees’. This is one of only three statues of real, non-royal women in Glasgow, and the only non-Scottish one. Ibarruri was born in 1895 and died in 1989, some ten years after this statue was created.
