Drumchapel

Does anyone have photos of Drumchapel, from Victorian days til the 70's ?
I'd especially like to see some from the 1950's-60's. So much of the 1950's estate has gone, no great loss but 3 generations have grown up there, it'd be a pity if no one had taken a few snaps.
Here's a few I took earlier this year, 'up the hill' around the Monymusk Pl, Lillyburn Pl, Fasque Pl, area. Mostly empty now, all of this will soon be gone (don't know about the block of flats though, is that staying ???).
Demolition of Fasque Pl with new housing in the background.
The 'revamp' with wall cladding, etc, was done about 1990, I shudder to think how much all that cost.
'Down the hill' a bit. Apart from windows, & fencing, Dunkenny Av (below) is little changed from the 1950's.
Cheers.
