This photo dates from 1963 and features Glasgow Road looking east towards Hamilton. On the left Station Road leads off at the junction. The Broadway Cinema is on the corner.
The canopies to the left are Collins the Baker and Birrels Sweet Shop. Whats your memories of this location including the shops beyond. Mauchlines? Vinces?
