Glasgow Road, Blantyre 1903.

Glasgow Road c.1903

This picture shows a stretch of Glasgow Road changed over a thirty year period. In 1903 there was a patch of waste ground adjacent to Stonefield Church (pictured right) but by the 1930's it had been built up with tenements and shops, obscuring the view of the church. Someone also eventually spruced up the brick tenement facades on the left so that they matched their neighbours' appearance. The transport situation also changed radically, with cars gliding down a newly surfaced road, replacing the trams that had previously rumbled along dirt streets.
