Plans were unveiled this week for the transformation of the entrance to Glagow’s Royal Concert Hall, with the iconic steps which mark the top of Buchanan Street facing removal.
Since the venue was opened in 1990 the steps have become a familiar gathering point, whether for sunny afternoons or furious protest.
The blaze was sparked in the early hours, with around 50 families evacuated from their homes on Kent Road and Cleveland Street, while BBC television vans brought to broadcast the boxing were hurriedly disconnected. Critics noted that pedestrians would face walking across an elevated and open square in Glaswegian weather, and a lack of competition to Mr Jury’s £4m - £62.3m in today’s money - scheme also caused consternation, with the head of the project suggesting sniffily that “90 per cent of people don’t notice what buildings look like”.
