 That's one helluva bulge in that wall. Dunno why the site hasn't been built on
since Isn't the Argyle railway line right underneath there? Might've been causing
the subsidence?

Excellent. HH will be interested in this one.

Streapadair What a mine of informative photographs you have turned out to be.
I am sure myself and everyone on here fully apprieciates the time taken scanning and uploading these wonderful collections must take you.
Please keep them coming some memories returned some buildings i never knew existed and some empty spaces filled.
Thank you so much for sharing.

I thought it might be the cemetery gatehouse, but it’s definitely not the same building, nor do the pillars or railings match. Over to UG’s collective knowledge. March 1976

Holywell Street School Perhaps ... Kinda remember playing in a very similar building as a Barrowfield Sprogg if i remember correctly it was near the gallowgate end on the opposite side from the Cardowan Creamery.

Not only are the photographs astounding, but once again you have provided captions (both witty & informative) to match. Wonderful.
