I live in Townhead, not far from that location. I'm not entirely sure what
that was, but I'm fairly sure there was once a school or maybe a church
building in that area. I might be wrong, as I've never seen a building there
in my lifetime (I've only lived in Townhead for 10 years). The picture
below is an edited version of one someone posted around here the other
day. It shows the flats next to the wall under construction, but nothing at
the actual sight of the wall.
Further thought: the film Heavenly Pursuits, starring Tom Conti and Helen
Mirren, seems to have been filmed in that area. Conti's character was a
school teacher, and the school *seemed* to be in that precise area, as the
College of Food & Technology building (top left in the picture below) is
visible in the background in several outdoor shots. I believe the film was
made aroung 1985/86.

Not a clue. I've actually never noticed that before.
