This one hides a wee secret though!
|
|
At The Slaughter-House!214 viewsGlasgow's Meat's Miles Better.
The other official slogan of Glasgow? Glasgow Smiles Better... I guess Glasgow's Meat Smiles Better just didn't have the same ring to it!?
|
|
Gatehouse334 viewsThe Gatehouse and Turnstile for the Zoo... You could mistake the Zoo for being open right now - it never was busy or tidy even when operational.
|
|
The Registered Office171 viewsWe waste no time and push on inside.
|
|

|
|
Dead Squirrel431 viewsWhat decapitated this Squirrel I wonder?

NIIIICCEEE!! :-D
|
|
Torched Training Area206 viewsBeside the office block is the 'training area' - a whole carcass could be moved in here (as with everywhere in the building) by roof conveyor (more on that later) and demonstrations given.
The place has suffered badly from being torched however.

|
|
Wind Direction Indicator92 viewsThe 'chimney status indicator' panel - a Wind Direction and Speed indicator.
No doubt then the wind was blowing towards Glasgow they could switch to a more polluting grade of oil and start burning medical waste!
;-)
|
|
Asylum Dog RIP164 viewsThe final resting place of Julius, the Asylum Dog! He has a street in the grounds of Gartloch named after him: 'Julius Walk' is now a VERY select address on the Glasgow property market!

|
|
Cool Area - Asbestos What Asbestos244 viewsPhew!! We breathe a sigh of relief: the talented, professional and safety minded individuals from the Glasgow Council Asbestos Team have been through this building with a fine tooth-comb.
There's no chance there's any asbestos is left after the city's finest have inspected the building.

Cool Area - Asbestos Nightmare237 viewsArghhhhh!!!!! FOR FUCK'S SAKE - look at all the lethal, spiky, nasty, cancer causing ASBESTOS which has been left in here - to blow around and head out the many open windows in the general direction of ParkHead!!
EEK!
|
|
Donations382 viewsYeah, well, I guess there just were not enough.
|
|
Cool Area - Asbestos Nightmare More249 viewsOf course, when dealing with this lethal contaminant it's best to stop and smoke some cigarettes while eating some crisps.
Fuckkkkkkk!!
It strikes me that the poor fool who stopped here for a cig. break probably had NO IDEA exactly what he/she was standing in... We set our filtration to max and head around the other way!
|
|
Ice Cream Shop366 views

|

Or it's asbestos... Whatever!
|
|
Penn Area - Dead Seagull226 viewsSo, I wonder what happened to this seagull? I figure it must have gotten trapped in the trough... Although, there was a large steel beam above here - possibly it flew down, not paying attention: and twatted itself to death on the beam!?
|
|
Penn Area - The Walk of Death196 viewsEvery animal who passed through this facility would have taken a walk up this short corridor; it leads directly to the killing floor.
|
|
Slides523 viewsThese slides were pretty good - colourful, vivid 1970's era pictures of penguins, dolphins and a zebra.
Staff training maybe? :-)) Clearly, no expense was spared in the running of this Zoo!
|
|
Glasgow Outside360 viewsThe rain starts to fall - in this part of the building it makes for some strange noises... Every few minutes we can hear footsteps.
It may have been closed a while now, but the hotel is just as active inside as it always was.
