On the left can be seen the Greek Thomson Caledonia Rd Church just behind the tenements. The structure in the foreground is a fountain.(Pic and info from "The Gorbals-An Illustrated History" by Eric Eunson - A fantastic book)
And 2005..
The remaining identifiers are of course the Thomson Church and railway bridge behind, the general shape of the wasteground and the round patch where the fountain once stood. The church was demolished in the eighties and the tenements behind it were some of the last to go in the Gorbals in the late eighties.
The Fountain did survive however, here it stands in it's new spot opposite the Citizen's theatre
