This evening, I am posting something very unusual which caught my eye when out visiting sites at Inchinnan, near Glasgow.
This is not a major art work but in fact the foundations of a now abandoned industrial building project. Looks quite appealing in an unusual sort of way. At or near to this site airships were built between 1916 and 1921. Fascinating!
This evening, I am posting a video of a fascinating building which I have just discovered, namely the India factory building west of Inchinnan. Now converted into a cafe/restaurant. Obviously restored to a high standard. The still image shows the futuristic extension behind the India building which is modelled on an airship gondola in recognition of the airships built there between 1916 and 1921. Very impressive!
These unremarkable looking stones are, in fact, very ancient. Inchinnan is the home of the cult of St. Conval, a 7th century disciple of of St. Kentigern (to whom Glasgow Cathedral is dedicated). Both stones are located in a small block in the grounds of the Normandy Hotel, protected by iron railings and are believed to be positioned in their original location close to the White Cart river. The two stones are:
Image quality affected by restricted access due to the high railings which surround the site.
Another posting on similar topic will follow tomorrow.
