Calderbank Road
Not being a local, I presume this is a fairly new housing estate.

Baillieston 1st railway station (site), Glasgow
Around 500m ahead of the train is the site of the first Baillieston station. Opened in 1866 by the Rutherglen and Coatbridge Railway, later part of the Caledonian Railway empire, this station closed in 1964. View north east towards Bargeddie and Whifflet. The site is now lost under a new housing estate and..... quite a lot of greenery.
When the line was reopened to passengers in 1993 as part of the Glasgow to Whifflet line, the replacement Baillieston station was located just behind the camera position.

Calderbank Avenue 2008
Compare this with the view www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1474622taken from the same spot only a few years earlier than this. Utter desecration comes to mind.

Baillieston, the Calderbank Avenue
The avenue of the old Calderbank House, this view is now history due to a housing developer chopping down one half of the Lime and Beech stands. See www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1474618 to view the change in 2008.

Baillieston, Calderbank
Area now cleared of mature forest which was planted in the 1990s by the Clyde-Calders Project which was managed by the Countryside Commission for Scotland as part of an urban fringe plan of improving the environment and creating opportunities for informal recreation. So much for that then.

Baillieston, The Avenue, Calderbank
This photo is historical because one side (R.H.) of the avenue has had its trees cut down and destroyed to make room for houses in a housing project.
