This road was formerly the B757 before this section was closed. The new A752 was aligned along a more direct route. The structure to the left is an embankment of the Bredisholm mineral railway which looped off the NBR Shettleston Bothwell line in the south and connected with the Caldedonian Railway's Rutherglen to Coatbridge branch, servicing the pits in between up till 1934 when the last one closed.
