Which one is Cumbrae & which is Bute?

http://theglasgowstory.com/image.php?inum=TGSA00772Once tenants had moved in, it was discovered that the lifts installed in the buildings were too small to carry coffins and large items of furniture. The problem was a foretaste of others to come when higher blocks were erected in the city.
Hmmnnnn. Can I ask a Q?
This is the question which no-one knows...(well not that I know of)
On Queensland Drive North Cardonald (which runs parallel with Kingsland Dr) and where Bute and Cumbrae Towers stand off: How is one part of Queensland Drive called 'Woodhall Drive'
But the whole of the street is addressed Queensland Drive?
When entering Queensland Drive from Berryknowes I've noticed a rather old street name fading away on one of the sandstone bricks on the Victorian houses (first one right beside the lane a stone throw away from Craigton Crematorium enterance) at the bottom of queensland Drive. This name being 'Woodhall Drive'
The victorian houses at the bottom of Queensland Drive are way older than the rest of the mid-terraces and four-in-a-blocks which cover 75% of Queensland dr (give 8% for the two towers
)...which I
know were constructed about, or in 1925 (had done a nosey in about the deeds
) Pre-war. Still equipped with a air-raid shelters and complete with an'under-the-stairs' hideout'.
Full of spiders.
Why not keep the original street name? I ask myself that.
