Formerly named Russell Street. The black gate led to the yard of the former Govan fire station https://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSE00752 which was located in the nearest corner of the ground floor of the tenement. The difference in colour of the building fabric and different window configuration from the rest of the ground floor reveals the location of the old fire station, which closed in 1987, having been replaced with a new one nearby Image
