Inn on the Green, 25 Greenhead Street, Glasgow Green
The original building dates back to the 1850’s when it was used as basic
accommodation for Seamen.
In the early 1900-1920s the
building and surrounding streets ( Arcadia St./ McPhail St ) were owned by
the factory R
& G Dick Ltd a massive employer at the time, making transmission
belts and pulleys.
With the demise of
engineering, the factory closed and the building was taken over by McPhail
Street Properties Ltd in 1964 and the building was converted into self
contained workshops.
Downstairs the Inn
on the green restaurant opened twenty
years later in 1984. The workshops above the restaurant closed in 1998
paving the way for the present day 3 storey building hotel which opened in
March 1999.
( Jan.2003, I’d like to thank Phil Hibberd, Managing
Director, The inn on the Green for supplying this information, interestingly
Phil’s father was a former employee of R & G Dick and the founder and
owner of McPhail St Properties Ltd. )

NOW CLOSED |
Inn on the Green
has closed
 INN ON THE GREEN
TO BECOME FLATS
announced
12 April 2006
Glasgow’s Inn On The Green restaurant is to be replaced as developers
plan to create a 75-room hotel, 88 flats and another restaurant on the site
of the former upmarket eatery.
The Inn On The Green, which included an 18-bedroom hotel and restaurant,
closed at the end of last year and the building was taken over by developers
Campsie Glasgow Green Ltd.
It will now be demolished to make way for the new properties, although the
B-listed stone facade will be retained with a steel and concrete building
erected behind it. The proposals for Greenhead St and McPhail St near
Bridgeton include a new groundfloor bar and restaurant. Warehouses on the
site behind the restaurant will be converted into residential properties and
loft apartments.
Councillors granted planning permission for
demolition and the new development, despite 12 objections over parking, noise pollution, loss of
view and reduced TV signals.
In a report to councillors, developers Campsie Glasgow Green said: "In terms
of the economic sustainability of the hotel, the previous owners struggled
for many years to maintain the business in profit. Ultimately their efforts
failed despite its established reputation".
