Right in the centre of Glasgow, Parliamentary Road was once one of the city's main throughroads; connecting Sauchiehall Street with the east end.
So what happened to this crucial inner city link, and what remains today?
At one point in time, Parliamentary Road crossed the railway tracks of Queen Street Station and went on into the Townhead area.
It’s unclear when exactly the road appeared, though it's thought to have cost just £6,000 to construct.
With the thoroughfare being one of Glasgow's main connectors, Parliamentary Road was a toll road up until 1865.
In 1814, The Glasgow Asylum for Lunatics opened near to where the first Buchanan Street bus station would soon stand - on a map 1830 the cross-shaped mark of the building can be seen.
The asylum, which also served as a poor house, had separate wings for male and female patients - though they could also be separated by class.
In the 19th century, many facilities such as these housed patients with impairments or ‘issues’ that would be either treated or ignored today - from people suffering with seizures, thyroid deficiencies, and even women who had fallen pregnant out of wedlock.
An 1816 report on the Glasgow institution says the building provided two looms for weaving and sewing, a bowling green, and a billiard room, and added the Asylum was successfully avoiding appearing like a prison.
That being said, restraints and punishments were still very much part of the regime and reports include the use of leather muffs and whirling chairs - suspending patients in the air for hours on end in the hopes that it would ‘clear their head’.
By the 1840s, attitudes towards the treatment of those with mental illnesses were changing - and new asylums with more room and adequate facilities were built.
In 1843, The Town’s Hospital and Poorhouse moved from Clydeside into the vacant Parliamentary Road building left by the Glasgow Asylum for Lunatics.

The area remained mostly unchanged for the next century, until the slum clearances of the 1960s saw Glaswegians flock to new housing estates.
The mid-20th century saw a period of transformation across Glasgow, with new towns popping up in areas such as Cumbernauld - pulling families from dated tenement buildings.
A report published in March 1945, named the Bruce Report, influenced a lot of changes in Glasgow’s city centre.
The report, written by Glasgow Corporation Engineer Robert Bruce, included recommendations for the overspill of Glasgow and rehousing the population.
Central to these ideas was the demolition of much of the city centre - which originally included knocking down the Glasgow School of Art, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery Museum, and the Glasgow City Chambers.
Although most of the proposals were rejected, the general idea of tearing down dated buildings and streets to re-jig the city’s layout was carried through with.
By the 1960s, the construction of the Buchanan Street Bus Station saw a complete reshuffle of the streets in the area of Parliamentary Road.
The western section of the road was realigned, and renamed Killermont Street.
The eastern section disappeared completely during the clearances of tenement buildings, and ultimately became the housing development we see today.
A path running through the estate follows closely the line Parliamentary Road would have been on.
The last remaining evidence of Parliamentary Road was lost in the 90s, with the construction of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and Buchanan Galleries.
