North Rotunda (Glasgow)

United Kingdom / Scotland / Glasgow

Tunnel Street to Plantation Place, built 1890-6. Three parallel tunnels, two of which were used by vehicular traffic. At each end is a circular brick terminal, with a domed roof, which housed hydraulic lifts. Sadly the pedestrian tunnel was closed on 4th April 1980. This tunnel is now only used for access to water mains. The North Rotunda has had various uses, having been a restaurant, then a casino, and as of 2016 is a restaurant once again.
