By the Cut of Junction between Port Dundas and the Monkland Canal, looking east to Garngadhill and Townhead Parish Church. The Glasgow Garnkirk and Coatbridge railway brought coal to the city, and this spur served a coal depot on Pinkston Rd. The St Rollox Sawmill, which faced on to Baird St, is on the other bank. The M8 runs here now. c1964
The bascule bridge which carried Glebe St over the cut to Pinkston Rd, with the bridgekeeper’s cottage. The cottage was demolished in 1965 and the bridge in 1967. This photo and the previous were taken by my late brother and I don’t have a date for them, but 1960-64 is likely.
