The reputation of Glasgow School of Art was largely built by stained glass and other decorative arts. And how they can be incorporated into / and enhance all of our built environment. I guess its reputation does not matter any more or its purpose. #stainedglass #glasgow #scotland
GLASGOW Philistine art board dropping stain glass tuition A former head of Glasgow School of Art has branded its decision to close its stained glass studio “ill-judged”, claiming the craft is as relevant today as it was when Charles Rennie Mackintosh was at the peak of his…

July 19th is the feast of Saints Justa and Rufina, the Virgin-Martyrs of Seville: Hispano-Roman sisters tortured to death at Hispalis in AD 287, after refusing to sell their pottery for use in pagan rituals.
Very depressing sight - my shop the only one open on Saturday. Hairdressers and beauty salon permanently closed - clothes shop and cosmetics shop on part time hours. Business rates, energy costs and an ‘admin error’* by @ManCityCouncil killing small businesses.
#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow: Yesterday was the 7th anniversary of the 2nd fire at the Glasgow School of Art. If you look through the scaffold you can still see Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s elegant iron railings with their totemic stanchions & grouped flowers representing Art 😢!

Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.
Glasgow School of Art. And salvaged pendant lights from CRM’s superbly atmospheric library have been rehung in a Holl light tube in the new building. More punishment for Mackintosh’s masterpiece and its contents.
Re-dedication of St Francis Hill Chapel by the Bishop of Lancaster. Major roof repairs, new ceiling, re-decoration by Roberts & Stone Architects.

You won't believe me but this is the same church in all three pictures
Sad day unless you're a Genoa fan. Samp relegated to the third division. Getting the old band of Evani and Lombardo back together didn't work. They were the team's fourth coaches of the season after Pirlo, Sottil and Semplici. Bleak
It is with great sadness that we learned this morning of the death of our Holy Father, Pope Francis: may he rest in peace and rise in the glory of the Resurrection. A Requiem Mass is celebrated this evening at Lancaster Cathedral at 7.00 pm.
St Norbert Catholic Church, Berlin Schöneberg. Original church 1916, bombed WWll. Preserved and incorporated into new church Fehling & Gogel architects 1958-62. Interior is modified remnant wrapped in a new tower, sculptural wall and ancillary block.

Newly scanned negative of the 1970 Lancashire Miners Gala sent to me from Canada surprisingly features 15 year old Pete Shelley (Pete McNeish) of The Buzzcocks, in my year at Leigh Boys Grammar #Buzzcocks #PeteShelley @Buzzcocks #rock #musicians
The White Horse an estate pub for the Crescents, Hulme, Manchester 1970s. Today like the Cresecents gone. @Britains___Pubs @MancPictures @McrHistory #Manchester #History #HistoryMatters
Ever-decreasing public space for classical music, so @BBCRadio3 diminishes it further by turning into radio 2 for swathes of Saturday schedule.
