Maybe someone will be able to identify the tower that appears at the corner of Cleeves Place facing Linnhead Drive at Glenmuir Drive. I seen on an old map that there was a water tower near there but it doesnt look like a water tower
The tower wasn't in Cleeves Place it was at my back garden (reference my family ) It was a water tower but it was also rumoured to be an airvent from old mineshaft. I was in it once cant remember many pipes. The prefabs on Cleeves & Glenmuir both backed onto it.
wee minx i played in old brickworks as kid... god i'm getting old
There was white hills other side of railway, they were made of chalk/limstone & did have tunnels. this would be before Darnley & Cleeves Road houses were built.
I stayed in old prefabs on Glenmuir Drive right across from Linnhead my family had stayed in prefab for about 25-30 years. Nae central heating only a coal fire
ps the community center i think on Househillmuir was Burnbrae primary annex for a while. when the old Burnbrae annex next to school burnt down
I have a coupe of map sections of the Cleeves area UHB. I will post them on the Nitshill thread as this discussion is leading to the Glasgow end again.
Nice photo Neil.

Hi there,
Get a 47, 48, 57 or 56 to Nitshill road, get off at the Ashoka, [ask the driver, he will know where it is] and follow Corselat road, [the road that runs alongside the ashoka] It will take you all the way up to the dams, about a 20minute walk.
Location: In The Celing above the Dressing Rooms in La Senza!

This link will show you the road to follow that will take you to the Dams and Barrhead Viaduct, It's a reasonable walk but it's the easiest way from the city side.
Use this map and follow Corselet Road and you will see the dams and how to get there:- >Click Me<
You could also get the train to barrhead and go that way but they are both just as good.
Hope this helps,
Alex. _________________ My Photo's

There are a couple of Park Rangers employed now. I don't know at the moment where they operate from but if you need any further help let me know and I will get you contact details for them. _________________ I had a dream today
It's good to hear that there are some park rangers there now, there have been lot's of improvements to the paths and entrances over the last few months. I walk around there most days and spotted 2 Deer just last week down at the pond, so the wildlife is also still around, i was woried that all the new housing may have chased them away.

For some reason the first image that popped into my head was Ranger smith from Yogi bear
