Kings Park. I got into a thick ear here once after knocking down the wicket of a bunch of toffs who were playing cricket would you believe.

The Croftfoot shops. As kids we used to call these shops "The 4A" I can't now remember why we did. perhaps there was a bus of that number back then, although it was the number 5 and 34 buses I remember.

Garage. I can't remember what the name was above the door but this was a fabulous place and as kids we used to stand for hours looking in to the magicle gloom of this building and savouring that lovely smell of oil and petrol, I saw my first Mini in there.

Site of the old "State" picture house. Many a happy hour I spent in this marvelous building.

The infamous White's Chemical Works which blighted the lands around Rutherglen and for which we are still paying the clean up costs.
