Rear of tenement block
Looking from Hillhead Road onto the rear of a tenement block on Eastside. The flats on the left have done away with the communal toilets, which would have been accessed off the landings of the close, and the external structure has been removed. The flats on the right still retain the spaces, but it is quite likely they are no longer in use as toilets.
