It might just be a set of doors to you, but to ex-servicemen and women this picture will bring back a lot of happy memories. 

It is the entrance to the Naafi club, which used to sit at the corner of Buchanan Street and Parliamentary Road. 

When the club opened it catered for 15,000 navy, army and air force personnel within 20 miles of Glasgow. 

The eight-storey building, erected in 1953, at a cost of nearly £100,000, had three floors dedicated to the Naafi. It closed at the end of June 1960 when it was losing £12,000 a year. 

The building was later taken over by Reo Stakis and became a casino, but it was demolished in the late 1980s to make way for the Royal Concert Hall.

Glasgow Times:

WHEN the police warn people that they had better watch their step or they could be spending some time in the cells, it is not normally a welcome prospect.

But this trio prove not all such invitations are as they sound.

The Hopscotch Theatre trio, pictured in September 1998, were highlighting Glasgow’s Open Doors Day, which was the chance for the public to see the inside of some of the city’s wonderful buildings.

 The old police station in Anderson Street had been turned into the Centre for Sensory Impaired People and was one of 80 locations opened free to the public.

The Doors Open event is now an annual weekend favourite, with more than 100 buildings granting access last year.
