Much of what can be seen here, taken in 1981, is now gone. Woolco was a massive supermarket, touted as Scotland's first "hypermarket". The building just visible behind Woolco is part of the council offices, and are still there today. Behind that are the houses of Carbrain, and in the distance Palacerigg and Fannyside Moor.
