Note on the extreme left the new masonry of the abutments. Cunningham’s Garage (Pollokshaws Motors) has been part demolished.

Pollokshaws Bowling Club’s clubhouse is at lower right, and the new Pollok Golf Club clubhouse can be seen among the trees above it.

Kennishead Road still has to be realigned from The West to join Barrhead Road at the lone tree near the left hand edge. To the left of the new bridge is the office of Frame’s Carriers.

Looming in the distance are the Gleniffer Braes. The bar at bottom right is the top of the balcony railing.
