Glasgow Corporation Waterworks' watchmen's cottage beside the traffic lights on Balmore Road. A valve chamber is located on the line of the Craigmaddie water mains pipes taking water into Glasgow just to the north; and the pipes pass under the Forth and Clyde Canal just to the south.

This bridge carries Balmore Road (A879) across the Forth and Clyde Canal. Some of the history of this and the previous Lambhill Bridge can be found in http://www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk/search_item/index.php?service=RCAHMS&id=79348. This is also the reverse view to Image

The picture is taken from the front of the Lambhill Stables (Image), looking towards the Lambhill bridge that crosses the canal. The canal and towpath are just below and the Cafe on the Canal sign is no doubt positioned to catch the eye of walkers and cyclists using the old towpath, now part of National Cycle Route 754. At time of writing the cafe is closed due to the pandemic.

Originally one of many similar stables for the horses for the horse-drawn boats along the Forth and Clyde Canal, the buildings were derelict for many years. Since 2011 they have been the centre for a local community hub, offering a wide range of activities for the local community.

Category B listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB33739 former stables beside the Forth and Clyde Canal. Originally one of several similar stables for the horses for the horse-drawn boats along the Forth and Clyde Canal, the buildings were derelict for many years. Since 2011 they have been the centre for a local community hub, offering a wide range of activities for the local community, including a cafe and bike hub. Seen from Lambhill Bridge.

The nineteenth-century stables are described at https://canmore.org.uk/site/44162/glasgow-forth-and-clyde-canal-11-21-25-and-27-canal-bank (at Canmore) as "Horse Barracks", one of several stable blocks that provided fresh horses for drawing fast passenger boats along the canal. The Canmore page also includes some older photographs of the buildings. The buildings had become derelict, and some of them were roofless by 2002, but they were refurbished, opening in 2011; amongst other things, they provide educational resources for the local community.
