Former Streets of Blantyre

Blantyre has many, many streets that are now no longer here. I’ve been looking at these in recent weeks and started compiling information where they were and when they were there or demolished.

Some large buildings with their own names, usually tagged with the word “Place”, have also been demolished. The names with “Place” attached tended to be buildings, the others noted as streets. These are explored in some detail in my forthcoming “Blantyre Explained” book and include;

Albert Place,
Alpine Street,
Annfield Terrace,
Brownsland Place,
Burnview Place,
Coopermindale Place,
Clark Street,
Forrest Place,
Gardiners Place,
Greenside Place or Greenside Street,
Hospital Road,
Jackson Place,
Jackson Street,
Kirkland Place,
Newhouse Road,
School Lane,
Ulva Place,
Victoria Place and
Whifflet Place.

I’ve many more still to add and if anybody would like further information on these former Blantyre streets and buildings, just let me know.
