This Is My Glasgow<p>Old burglar alarm box outside a tenement on London Road in Glasgow. Rely-A-Bell burglar alarms were first created as early as 1904 from telegraph parts by the London ironmonger Thomas Gunn. It was spun off into its own company (the Rely-a-Bell Burglar and Fire Alarm Company Limited) in 1921. It's believed to be the oldest burglar alarm company in the UK. There are still a number of Rely-A-Bell alarm boxes on older buildings around Glasgow.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/burglaralarms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>burglaralarms</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowtenements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowtenements</span></a></p>
