108 Slides of the Pollokshaws Area (1 of 108)

	POLLOKSHAWS ROAD. AT GREENVIEW ST. 1961 On the left hand, but unfortunately not seen properly, is the Old Swan tenement block (1898), one of four tenement buildings remaining when clearance for the redevelopment ended. Where the no. 45 bus, a Daimler 8' wide body with pre-select gearbox bound for Rouken Glen, is seen, Pollokshaws Road was formerly Maxwell Street. In the gap in the building and set back out of sight to the right of the bus, stands a more modern Corporation (then the title of the local council) tenement dating from the 1930s which is still there today (2004) backing on to Rossendale Court. The Pollok Bar stood at the corner of Greenview Street. Beyond the pub and behind the traffic lights, the two upper aspects of which are ‘on’, was the Maxwell Cafe. On the right in Greenview Street there was Fraser's funeral parlour, Lombardi's fish & chip shop, and Vezza's hairdressers shop. The car with the L-plate is a Ford Anglia, a model remembered for being the first and possibly the only vehicle designed with a rear window having a reverse slope.
