Back

The former Govan Press building on Govan Road in Glasgow. Designed by Frank Stirrat and constructed in 1889, it was built for John Cossar Ltd, which published the Govan Chronicle and the Govan Press.

On the front of the building are relief sculptures of John Cossar and his wife (who ran the business for more than thirty years after he died in 1890) surrounded by notable figures from printing and literature (Johannes Gutenberg, Walter Scott, Robert Burns and William Caxton).
