🖼️ IMAGE UPDATE: Was prior graphic a typographical glitch..? Or the workings of an Empisode..?

* An 'empisode' is a mischievous sprite that lives in overgrown lime clamp kilns in places like #LinnPark #industrialheritage #Glasgow

According to notes here the contractors were Yorkshire Hennebique Contracting Co. Ltd, Leeds, who it seems did mainly bridges but also mills. Wonder if they chanced the 4 inch walls at Lion Chambers due to site size or was it done elsewhere. They later did Ardsley Mill share.google/k4qDg5OEcMLT...

The most beautiful #GlasgowStyle failure... Hennebique & Louis Mouchel's marketing nous sold us a #reinforcedconcrete pup & James Salmon Jnr's design genius goes to waste 😔 shame there's no space for a mesh box like at Hill House #Glasgow850 💔 The north elevation is also a hidden #Glasgow iconic gem
