[quote="dimairt"]The area around Hopehill Rd. , Grovepark St. and North Woodside Rd. is, as it always has been, a mix of housing and industry.
I grew up there in the 50s and 60s: there were still working foundries - there's a photo of the Violet Grove Foundry on the VM - a brewery in N. Woodside Rd. behind the Seamore and the usual mix of small businesses, shops and pubs, the most famous being Ye Olde Tramcar Vaults on the corner of Maryhill Rd. and Hopehill Rd. where the Jaguar showroom now stands. I moved back to the area two years ago.
I think I've remembered how to add photos , so here goes....

That's the photo I referred to earlier. See the biulding in the back court in the central block - is that anything to do with the subway or was it completely underground?
