A photo thought to be the 1940’s taken at Stonefield Public Park. This is the Glasgow Road entrance. The main boulevard leading from the gates to the children’s play area, now no longer there replaced instead by sheltered housing at that location.
Amongst the young trees are beautiful flowerbeds, edged paths and trellis frames. The Cowan Wilson Memorial Arch a lovely focal point near the entrance. It is said in future Wartime years, the iron drive saw many railings taken away as part of the war effort, which may have been the end of the iron railings along Glasgow Road pictured on the small walls.
The elevated position of the camera was likely from the upper windows of the double storey Annfield tenement formerly not far from the corner of Victoria Street. With thanks to Rob Gordon for this photo, which I know was made into a postcard of the era.
