    Bridge St, east side, south of Oxford St. 

The tall building (Bruce & Hay, 1903) was a warehouse for the Kinning Park Co-operative Society.

  August 1973
    Coburg St, west side between Norfolk St and Oxford St. 

Another Bruce & Hay warehouse for the KPCS, added in 1909, and backing on to the Bridge St one. The Co-op was the dominant force in retailing at that time, and expanding rapidly. This warehouse survives, though neither its elder brother nor its immediate neighbours do.

  April 1973
    Bridge St, west side at Kingston St. 

The Sou‘ Wester is still there, the building cut down to a single storey, and so, remarkably, is its neighbour which probably dates from c1795 and originally had a nepus gable.

  December 1973
