Only one block remains of the Council Housing that made up Millpark. These are now used as Offices and Restrooms for the Scottish Borders Councils Galashiels Road Depot. Millpark as the name suggests was predominantly Housing for the Millworkers in the town. This end of the town had many Textile Mills, but when these failed the Houses were demolished for the Road Depot
