There are a lot of roads in Glasgow which are overlooked. But in order to get to where you are going you will have either walked or traveled on the roads of Glasgow. Some will have seen a lot of changes over the years whilst others will have been the same for a number of years.
When you are out and about why not take some photos of Glasgow's Roads.
M8 at Easterhouse Train Station
Main Street, Baillieston
Springboig Road
Kerrera Road, Barlanark
Edinburgh Road, Baillieston
Junction of Hallhill Road at Budhill

You can see my old house in the first one fastnet.
Gartcraig Road.
Also the famous Bankend Street where the Ice Cream Wars resulted in the deaths of members of the Doyle Family.
Was it taken from the Cranhill Flats

But that begs the question and I got involved in it on another forum, Alex.
Where does Argyle Street become Dumbarton Road ?
I always thought it was up by the Kelvin Hall where Argyle Street and Suchiehall Street came together, but that's the memory of a ten year old who left Glasgow for Australia in 1960 !

It's either side of Partick Bridge at the Kelvin Hall, which carried the road over
the Kelvin.

The silly thing is I do know that Dumbarton Road starts further up the road but for some reason I had a mental block and had it in my head that Dumbarton Road some how starts nearer to the City Centre
