Memorial to our industrial history could be lost in George Square makeover

Bill Brown and Duncan Macintyre rightly point to what can be lost when a city square is routinely "developed", such as the neat little red granite Crum Fountain on the north side of George Square (Letters, January 5).

It commemorated an outstanding south side industrial family.

The brothers Walter and Alexander Crum established a calico works in Thornliebank, outside which, until the demise of the numbers 14 and 25 trams in 1959, there stood a bundy clock.
