| Bridgeton Umbrella
and Olympia Building |
| Painting by
'glesca artist' (Wm.Neilly)
shows the Umbrella and the Olympia building following their complete
restoration under the Clyde Gateway Urban Regeneration Project. The
famous and historic landmark, Grade A listed, Bridgeton Cross
Umbrella, was restored to its full glory in 2011 with a substantial
contribution from the Glasgow City Heritage Trust. The imposing,
Grade B listed, Olympia building on the gushet between Orr Street
and Olympia Street and facing Bridgeton Cross was completely
revamped and returned to public use in 2012. The four-storey, Grade
B listed, tenement at the junction of Orr Street and London Road
flanks the former Bridgeton Central Railway Station.
Painted using acrylics on canvas board
measuring 508 x 406 mm (20” x 16”) in March 2013.
