Hi Neilmc
I have to agree with mr U
Is it possible that is the tram bridge with Darnley hospital in the back ground.There looks to be a wall which parkhouse farm did not have but the hospital did.

jock58,Priesthill up at the back ,Darnley Hospital to the left ,Sycamore to the right.Track went behind Sycamore and turned right towards Rouken Glen!! All this only if my memory is not playing tricks.Seem to remember thePolice phone box being at the end of the hospital wall,opposite the Fire Station.Hope this helps.

Jock58,the houses look as though they could be on Corkerhill Rd.Can just make out that road running down the hill,but I can only recall a big farm
about that point.

HI ALL
Leggie farm ?? I think the correct name was Leggitt's
I just can't get that angle in my head i know the road was moved & widened but i would have thought from that view you would be looking over to-wards the hopeman area not looking straight on to Priesthill.
I'll have to have a look at that next time i get up the road.

Jock58,just behind the people boarding the tram there was a path which went up to Priesthill,I used to walk my then girlfriend up to her house by it.
It was a good shortcut when coming back from the dams.

Some recent photos taken looking North from South Nitshill toward the junction of Parkhouse Road/Nitshill Road/Kenniishead Road and Darnley Hospital and the area where the Darnley Fire Station was located.

Hope these help you Jock and Mr U.
