Beschreibung:
The remains of Townhead-Blochairn Church of Scotland, Roystonhill, Glasgow. Designed for the Church of Scotland by Campbell Douglas and JJ Stevenson and built in 1865. It barely made its centenary before being closed due to low congregation numbers. It had stained-glass windows designed by Glasgow artist Daniel Cottier and made by William Morris & Co.
The church was sold into private ownership in 1992 and used as a warehouse. Despite being an A-Listed protected structure, eventually the church building was demolished because of the neglect of the structure. The tower and spire were preserved and the surrounding site turned into a park and play area. The site is gated and locked to prevent access when the nearby nursery on the same site closed.
