Strathclyde Juniors Park (Springfield Park). They were founded in 1894 and folded in 1965. They won the Scottish Junior Cup on three occasions.

Doctors Surgery, now Crail St Medical Centre just behind gable end. At the junction of Crail St/Tollcross Rd. Building to the left of it was the clinic, where as youngsters we had to go see the dentist, get our BCG's and get checked for "nits" ~ lol

This was at one time Tollcross Park museum. The display case pictured tells the story of "Who Killed Cock Robin" which as kids we loved going to view (I think it is now on display at The Peoples Palace on the Glasgow Green). Another attraction at the museum was upon entry there stood a huge red deer which apparently used to roam the estate before it became a public park.
