(Ach, no edit feature :roll: )
I was going to add the whitewashed wall is also part of the Erecting Shop. Note the bricked up windows, which was part of the eastern wall, and later merged into the adjoining construction.

Thanks for that, I had no idea Shawlands used to be so different (although I'd never really given it much thought), what was the Embassy? A cinema?

Right, thanks to dimairt and his suggestion I have a look at the Jimmy Boyle film 'A Sense of Freedom' for stuff filmed around my area, I present a special themed Past Present...

First up, top of Napiershall Street, c.1974 and now ('then' pic courtesy of David Warrilow):

Now, some 'then' shots screencapped from the 1979 film 'A Sense of Freedom':
