  • 1925 Blantyre Priory

  • Blantyre Tram

    Gordon Cook recently shared this wonderful photo of a Blantyre Tram. I haven’t seen this one before, so hopefully it’s new for you too. I wasn’t able to work the location out, but I’m suspecting its around the former Priory…

Gordon Cook recently shared this wonderful photo of a Blantyre Tram. I haven’t seen this one before, so hopefully it’s new for you too. I wasn’t able to work the location out, but I’m suspecting its around the former Priory Bridge tram stop. The treeline matches up pretty well to a photo I recently posted. […]
