I actually thought this was Alexandra Parade between Craigielea St and Meadowpark St
It's a teaser indeed

Good replies folks and it's a mystery needing solving. I was going along the lines of AlanM's suggestion of the Southside perhaps Alison Street looking west but I'm not convinced that's right.

There's a row of tenements in the distance at what could be a junction if that helps.

One things for sure it's NOT Cathcart Road... or is it?

There's not many clues to the name of the shop sign as it's too obscured even at hi res

Yeah, having a look at the shadows definately looking west.

So that rules out Vicky Rd.

Could be Maryhill Rd

The numbers are getting into the 900's there as well (look at the driving school) so that'll rule out a lot of streets

Does anyone have a 1970's telephone book?
There won't be many RBS branches with a street number over 900.

The wee sign just in front of the '9' looks like a Rothmans logo.

you're right its not partick. What is that roughly south west of the letter 'L' is it a plinth with statue?

You're not going to believe this.

I went to the Mitchell today and had a look at the yellow pages for both North and South of the city and came up with 2 possible locations.

Maryhill Rd at Eastpark

and

Cathcart Rd.
