When the Fraser Homes Ltd developments of Malvern and Rossdale were in full swing in the mid-1980s, the need arose to widen the narrow Cairnshill Road. The road was realigned and raised. To provide pedestrian access between Newton Heights, which was built in the early 1980s on the same line as the old road, and Rossdale - this subway was built. It's been repainted since the last time I was here in 2004 - apart from the several graffiti tags, it looks quite well - every light in working order as well.
