Water row in Govan ...think this was the way to the old Govan ferry
from Govan road 
Looking east from Water row These are rails that the shipyards used to transport steel etc about on heavy duty hand pushed bogeys..Harland and Wolfe had a yard where the houses are now so think it must have been theirs .

I like the cobbles in fordneuk street better than all the others,I think cobbles made the street much more interesting looking,I remember listening to a couple of old guys in a cafe a few years ago and they said they were fed up seeing there road being dug up and resurfaced and they both seemed to agree that when their old street was cobbled there was never all those repairs needing done to them. |

Cobbles are OK for side streets to maintain rustic character and visual appeal but for heavily trafficked city streets they're noisy and they don't have enough skid resistance.
Lovely photos though.
