I’m always being surprised by pics I took and should have posted quickly (as the content was current), but somehow managed to forget.
This was some 10 years ago, when I came across the shattered wall at the corner of the Forge Market site one night.
This one was not so much forgotten, as puzzled over.
This was a pic of the remains, and has some pieces that are clearly not wall.
I think I was wondering about the bits, which I couldn’t recognise at the time, and ended up being diverted to other things.
The bits are from the car that demolished the wall, and probably parts of the front lighting module, but just didn’t register at the time.
One of my few flash pics in the digital era – the camera wouldn’t focus otherwise.
Note also the available light pics are good old sodium yellow, from the street lights.
And the cool white of the flash. The lower part of the first pic is almost a white light pic, as I waited for the scene to be lit by the headlights of a car turning the corner.
Seems I stood back, for a wider view. Full sodium this time.
No tyre tracks in the grass, so I guess they never made to the market.
Secret Scotland 
I’ve never been the greatest fan of shopping centres, aiding and abetting Amazon to clear life out of our streets. And the Forge was never one of the best. I remember when Gallowgate and Parkhead Cross were full of shops and people. Run down maybe, just like so many other areas across European cities were in the 1960s that are now vibrant communities with interesting shops and cafes. Even Glasgow’s now got some such areas where the traditional buildings didn’t get razed. They should rebuild shops along the streets, hopefully with canopy cover as the deterrent for the Glasgow area is rain rather than cold.
