Glasgow Road looking East
A peaceful time on Glasgow Road between the wars with a Tram coming from Motherwell. The Tramlines have been extended from the Tram Terminus at Livingstone Church in 1907, to the West End where passengers would change trams to go to Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Glasgow.
The homes in Glasgow Road were mostly semi-detached properties with dormer roofs and built of local sandstone. They had gardens front and rear although the front gardens were reduced in size when the road was widened. Electricity was not supplied until 1936 so these homes were lit by gas lanterns or oil lamps, heating, of course, was by coal fires. |
