The Glasgow Eastern Area Renewal (GEAR) project was a Government sponsored urban regeneration project in the mid 1970s to mid 1980s. The area lost some major heavy industries around that time with the closure of Beardmore's engineering works and the Arrol crane works. There are several of these markers around the east end of the city. This one is on London Road, opposite the remains of Mauldslie Street.
