Another Photo Request Floods In.

ANOTHER REQUEST FOR FREE PHOTOS HAS FLOODED IN
I received a request for photo's of the Barrowfield area just across the road from Celtic park. Several streets were mentioned, including, Gretna St, Boness St, Buddon St, and Gailes St. Sadly all of the housing in this area is now gone. This photo was taken looking north up Springfield Road towards London Road and Celtic Park.
The piece of open ground on the left is where all of these streets would have been. Just across Springfield Road on the right is an overgrown site where Riverside School once stood.
The picture on the right shows the badly overgrown site where Riverside school once stood.
This site is to be re-developed as part of the Athletes' Village for the Commonwealth Games in 2014 in Glasgow.
Hopefully the creation of this village will give the very much neglected East End of Glasgow the boost it greatly deserves.
