Houses down the left hand side, with 'The Orry' on the right. The Orry is the local name for the green, comprising grassland and woodland, which separates the village's two main streets, Polnoon Street (originally called North Street); and Montgomery Street (originally called South Street). Eaglesham is a planned village and was laid out in an 'A' shape in the late 1700s by Alexander, Tenth Earl of Eglinton, with Mid Road forming the cross member of the letter. The 'A' reflects the initial of the Earl's Christian name.
