Newbery Tower

Say goodbye to Glasgow School of Art's Newbery Tower

which, along with the Foulis Building are about to be

demolished to make way for a brand new Art School

building. The Newbery Tower was home to Printed and

Knitted Textiles, Embroidery and Weaving, and

Silversmithing. There was also the Ref. I taught drawing

and colour to Textile students on short term contracts

for some years. More importantly...whilst a student in

the Mackintosh building I often found myself in the Textile

Department where there were a large number of good

looking young ladies. Ah...those were the days.
