There are few things which beats a wally close for making a great first impression. This one is in the Hyndland area of Glasgow. For those who don't know, a wally close is the communal entrance to a tenement which is lined with tiles, and often beautifully crafted ones.

@thisismyglasgow Beautiful! Tenement in Glasgow seems good, in the US it refers to cheap crowded buildings so it took me a moment.

@avirr We had our share of tenements like thst too, but there werr also some extremely upmarket ones, too. Incidently, the tenements of places like New York were probably inspired by the tenements of places like Glasgow - and quite a few even used the same sources of Scottish sandstone. 🙂

@thisismyglasgow a bit of a pity they put in the glass door. Those tiles seem to carry on up the stairs.
