Glasgow's trade wealth and power was expressed through ornament. Much of the Victorian wildly hotchpotch approach to decoration is gone, but over time the building's changing fate - private home to flats/offices to hotel to hostel - has created its very own mixture of style and taste. neil GIBSON, the manager of the hostel and photographer, will enlighten you with memories of Scottish and Glaswegian history and how that made Park Circus what it is today. Artist christine NIEHOFF will present the results of her research into the architectural past of these fascinating buildings and how this came to life in her work.
