Coal Mining Monument in Cambuslang

I took this photo in 1983 and, to the best of my recollection, it was where I have indicated. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-264000-660000/picture/1 places this monument in Cambuslang Industrial Estate in 1986 but it is no longer there. I think that it may have been replaced by Image which looks as if it has been built from parts of this monument.
