At last someone has brought the plight of this lovely school building, part of Glasgow's often neglected built heritage, to the attention of the public.

If Glasgow City Council do not think that the area around Celtic Park is 'an attractive setting' then why don't they take steps to remove that eyesore of a pub along the road?

Your picture of the Albert Ballroom on September 6 would doubtless bring back happy memories for many Glaswegians.

In its hey day the Albert did indeed function six nights a week and on Saturday nights the queue to get in stretched from the door, down Bath Street, round the corner into Elmbank Street, past the High School and down as far as St Vincent Street.

The newspapers at the time labelled it "the bus that went to the jiggin'."
