This Is My GlasgowAn old door bell plate from a townhouse in the Park District area of Glasgow, with separate buttons for Visitors and Servants.

This Is My GlasgowI spotted this old door bell on a Victorian townhouse just of Byres Road today. These bells usually came in pairs, one for tradesmen and delivery people to call the Servants, and another one marked Visitors for those coming to see the owners.
