1957 Priestfield Terrace on right, smiddy buildings on left. By J Robertson
1957. Here is Priestfield Terrace, High Blantyre. I’m sure some people here may remember this railway bridge going over the top of Hillhouse Road. The vantage point looks towards Hillhouse. On the right are Priestfield Terrace miners homes, (which would now be near the entrance to the Technology Park is). On the left are the Smiddy buildings of Dixons Pit 1, which today would be the entrance to Priestfield Cemetery.
The whole scene is completely different now. Photo courtesy of Jean Robertson.
