A Hauf Stop

Updating since last picture in January 2013

After seeing these very impressive old paintings put into Street views of London i thought i would have a go.
I wanted to try more contemporary art so I started with some of Avril Patons but she generally paints from too high a vantage point, i couldnt work out where they were or the Google street view was just so bad ( looking at you Paddys Market).

I found some work by Bryan Evans that almost work;

Bryan Evans , South Side Angel , Glasgow

( NB Old Toll Bar on the left hand side currently closed , hopefully, awaiting repairs )

Bryan Evans , Battlefield Rest , Glasgow

Luckily i found a post about John Nisbets Sketchbook. Some are really tricky due to viewing angle or just good old Council demolition.

The building in the right foreground has been demolished

John Nisbet, Clyde Trust ( Clydeport ) Building, Glasgow

( I should add in a hand holding the picture so people would fall for thinking they were done on site. Does nobody notice the magical camera that can focus on two completely different planes in the pictures ?)

Drygate Brewery

Drygate Brewery
( Opened May 2014)
Following on from the last post i was looking at some google views of Wellpark and stitched some.

The recently announced Drygate Brewery is the building on the left hand side of the Brewery site. If it was named after the current closest streets it would not be Drygate , it would be John Knox Brewery or Ladywell Brewery.The old Drygate extended where the entrance is today, and followed a very different route. Closer to the Molendinar Burn than the main brewery, the new version of the Drygate Brewery is slightly further west than the original 1740 version.
