Paddy’s Market was, until recently, a Glasgow institution, selling
everything from clothes and bric-a-brac to household goods. It took
place on the cobbles, and under railway arches, south of St Enoch
Square.
Avril Paton’s best known picture is Windows on the West (Kelvingrove
Museum and Art Gallery), which depicts an elegant tenement building
in the West End of Glasgow.
