One of the earliest works of art by the Turner Prize winning artist Douglas Gordon has been demolished. The work - called Mute - was painted on walls in the east end of Glasgow by the artist in 1990. But the structure, part of a former railway station, was damaged in the recent storms and deemed unsafe by its owners.

The site of Glasgow Green station looking towards Bridgeton on 2 May. It doesn't seem to have been thought worthwhile providing access to London Road (in the background), perhaps because Bridgeton Cross station, on the same line, was so near.

It's difficult to get a decent shot of the platform side of the former Glasgow Green station (closed 1953) as it's between tunnels and the only viewpoint is an overbridge across the middle with high walls. Nevertheless here we go. This view looks towards the city centre. The rear of the fine facade can be made out, as can the the site of the top of the stairs to the platforms. Argyle line trains continue to pass through here every few minutes.
