Every Bar on Argyle St 1890 's vs 2010's

Every bar on Argyle Street 1890/2014

A while ago i had made a subsection map of the Gorbals/Laurieston/Tradeston area from a similar period showing the concentration of bars. I wanted to do a similar diagram contrasting a larger area of Glasgow. What would become Argyle street seemed like an appropriate choice.
St Enoch in 1890's is a train station in the 2010's it is a shopping centre.

1890's marks are for public houses which i take as being distinct from restaurants and other forms of services but makes exact comparisons impossible. The riverside is very distinct without having to be explicitly drawn.

Talk in local online forum is that this bar may be closing soon. A good old fashioned Glasgow Pub, good glass in doors and windows, floor the common type until recently but now so often disappearing under laminate wood flooring.Nice big banquette seats. Across the road are the Crown Creighton and Alexandra Bar , slightly further east are the Bristol Bar and the original Louden Tavern.
