More Glasgow Road photos from 1980. Previously unseen online, this is the building of Clydeview Shopping Centre, the upper units already built in the existing western side of the centre. The ASDA warehouse is well progressed and the steelwork of the corner premises still being built. The other photo shows bollard over the redundant entrance […]
Recent photos of Glasgow Road in 1980 have been well received online, so I’ll show some more this week. Here’s the construction of ASDA in 1980. The roof of the warehouse is complete and in the foreground you can see the building of the library on the corner, though back then it was to be […]
How about this for a great photo! Lets go back 40 years to 1980. This is of course Glasgow Road, looking eastwards from outside the Stonefield Tavern. (those horse signs now both in my possession with thanks to Stan Gordon). Priory Street was still a through road, houses going through renovation, Asda and Clydeview Shopping […]
Glasgow Road in 1981 certainly opened up opportunities for others. With the buildings all but demolished, large open spaces were apparent, immediately beside the road. Utilised by the market which was forced to move from the Hastie’s regular location, the side of Glasgow Road also was widely used for parking by both staff and customers […]

Continuing our look at Glasgow Road in the 1970s. This time Joanna Terrace. With St Joseph’s school in the background.
How’s this for a picture filled with nostalgia!? It’s Glasgow Road, the north side. Anybody fancy a roll and chips? Lightbody’s is pictured in 1977, a few years before they moved to Clydeview Shopping Centre. For a certain generation, this was THE place to get your rolls and pies. What’s your memories of Lightbody’s? Anybody […]
This is perhaps one of my most fearful memories as a child. Photographed here in the 1970’s is Biggins Dentist on the north side of Glasgow Road. I can remember him practically climbing up on the seat to get a good position to give leverage for an extraction, which thankfully for me only happened once! […]
Who remembers “Maddens” shop on Glasgow Road. Situated on the north side, the shop was located on the lower floor of a 2 storey tenement, next door to the Bethany Hall. Parking was never the best, but this was a popular, well known shop. What’s your memories of Maddens? Featuring Blantyre Project Social Media with permission. Strictly […]
