It's in remembrance of a cat which did a great service to the residents of Govan by single-handedly clearing out a heavy rat infestation, but died from injuries sustained while doing so.

This little sculpture high up on the Burleigh street facade of Brechin's Bar in Govan, is known as the Govan Cat, and it's one of the most unusual memorials in Glasgow.

While wandering along Southcroft St in Govan the other week, I spied this bit of ornate metalwork attached to the tenement. I immediately thought there must have been a pawn shop here at one point, and started searching on my phone.

Love these intricately sculpted column captials on Salmon, Son and Gillepsie's 1899 Glasgow Style British Linen Bank on Govan Road in Glasgow. Created by Francis Derwent Wood, the capitals feature a variety of activities, such as beekeeping, navigation and fishing.

A couple more shots from Southcroft St in Govan last Friday. Firstly, a satisfying sweep of oriel windows heading towards Govan Rd, and then looking the opposite direction back towards Vicarfield St.

Glasgow weather in a nutshell 😂 The long, unbroken tenements of Southcroft St in Govan are illuminated by the sun as an ominous sky brews in the distance. This is one of the few fragments of tenement housing left in this part of Govan.

Just inside the entrance is a greeting which says: "This is a House of Friendship. This is a House of Service. For Families, For Lonely Folk. For the People of Govan. For the Strangers of the World. Welcome."

That's an average of over 3,400 crossings per day. All in all, I think this bridge can be considered a major success, and that it's now an important part of the city's transport infrastructure. It also offers great photo opportunities!

The 110 metre long Pointy Bridge connecting Pointhouse Quay on the north side of the Clyde to Govan on the south opened in the 6th of September 2024. Since then, it's been crossed around 2.5 million times.
