As we approach the end of our look at Glasgow Road South, the final picture in this book, shared here by Gordon Cook has a tramcar heading towards Blantyre. Nearby, the turn off for Dalton and Flemington, on the left hand side. A snowy scene from the 1920’s.

We’re now of course sufficiently beyond Blantyre Parish boundaries in our exploration along the south of Glasgow Road and as such, our fascinating journey for these last 3 months at least on the South side, comes to an end. Hope you’ve enjoyed this most detailed insight into our busiest and most interesting street.

Several other stories have been reserved exclusively within the book. I’ll be looking at Glasgow Road North in similar detail later in 2018.
