Enclosed space near Ferguslie Gardens
To the left of the wall, the railway line is at the bottom of the slope.
When the first-edition OS map was surveyed, in 1858, this wall had not yet been built, but there was a walled garden not far ahead, part of the estate associated with the now-gone Ferguslie House. At that time, there was railway junction (Linnwood Junction) near here.
When the second edition of the map was surveyed, in about 1895, the junction was gone (there was a single line, as at present), but the wall of the enclosure shown here had been built. At the southern corner (the one from which the picture was taken), there are remains of stairs leading down into it: Image The area enclosed by this wall was probably another part of the gardens associated with Ferguslie House.

Ferguslie Gardens hill side
At one point there use to be large garden walls encasing flower gardens here in Ferguslie gardens hillside. Further down just beyond the tree line there use to be green houses to replenish the now gone Ferguslie House. Beyond that and in more recent times, there once stood a housing estate and three large 15 storey high rise flats know as Millarston, itself all gone.
