IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Carnock Road, GLASGOW, G53 5JJ

The corner of Damshot Road (straight ahead) and Carnock Road (to the left).

Looking towards Maidland Road.

With the red sandstone houses on Carnock Road and Maidland Road beyond.

The footbridge shown here is no longer present; it was gone by the end of 2006. At the time when I took the picture, the buildings on the far side included the Pollok Centre. The area has been redeveloped since then. On this occasion, I was crossing the bridge while on the way to the Pollok Kist (a community museum that I visited on the day), which is still based nearby. The footbridge was in line with the eastern side of Maidland Street (which is just to the north). A set of present-day traffic lights and a pedestrian crossing on Barrhead Road are where the footbridge used to be. Note the cleared area directly ahead, on the far side of the bridge; construction was then taking place: Image / Image What was being built was the Silverburn Shopping Centre, which opened a few years later: Image For views of the main road from the footbridge, see Image and Image

This view would now be awkward to reproduce: it was taken from a footbridge (Image) that is now gone, part of which can be seen on the right. For the construction site at the far right, see the link just given. Visible in the central part of the background is part of the frontage of a large building, National Savings & Investments (Image), on Boydstone Road; see Image See Image for a view in the opposite direction from the same footbridge.

Looking towards the traffic lights at the link road to Silverburn shopping centre.

Another part of the site is shown in Image Like that picture, the present picture was taken from a footbridge that is now gone: Image The cleared area seen here became part of the Silverburn Shopping Centre, which is shown in many other pictures submitted for this grid square. The high flats visible in the background are on Kennishead Avenue: Image

The picture was taken from a footbridge that is no longer present (Image). The clear area in the foreground of the present picture can also be seen in the photograph of the bridge (the view direction of the two pictures is the same). See Image for an adjacent area, which, with respect to the present picture, is out of shot to the left. The site would later be occupied by parts of the Silverburn Shopping centre, which is shown in many of the other pictures submitted for this grid square.
