Hyde Park Works [2nd]
The director's entrance to the North British Locomotive Company ('The Combine') offices in Springburn. The offices were opened in 1909, just after the merger of Neilson, Reid & Co, Sharp, Stewart & Co Ltd and Dubs & Co which created the company in 1903.
A locomotive is bursting out of the building with 'Speed' and 'Science' spelled out on either side.
This was not the only building in Springburn with a goddess and a locomotive - the Public Halls of 1902 also had one (demolished 2012).
