Glasgow has developed quite the reputation for tearing down beautiful buildings down the years, but few examples are quite as hard to fathom as the demolition of the old Lyric Theatre.
Controversially destroyed in the early 1960s for the brutalist St Andrew House office block, the magnificent building formed part of Glasgow's once bustling 'theatre corner' at the eastern end of Sauchiehall Street.
Back in the day the Lyric, which was situated on the corner of Renfield Street, had the likes of the Pavilion, the Glasgow Empire and the Theatre Royal as close company, with the cinema and ballroom that was Green's Playhouse thrown in for good measure.
