24 Brunswick Street, Glasgow. G1 1TD.
Fox & Hound. 1991.
This is one of these pubs that the City Council let fall into disrepair. It has been closed down now for some time just like the Mitre Bar a few doors away, it will soon be demolished probably to make way for some luxurious flats.
This old established pub has been here since 1861, proprietor Alexander Davidson stayed here for less than ten years. John Fraser then took over the pub, he was trading as a wholesale and retail wine & spirit merchant and had other premises in Great Eastern Road now the Gallowgate.
William Morrison an east end man ran the pub from 1884 to 1888, William also had a pub in Glassford Street.
William Reid spent 32 years in the pub he also had premises in Eglinton Street. He sold the Brunswick Street pub to well known Glasgow publican James Denholm. Denholm's bar was gutted by fire in 1945 by a lit cigarette left on the premises after closing time.
Other names this old pub has been known as is the Angus, William Reid, Denholm's and Fraser's.
