Whins of Potterfield, 1903, was the site of a pottery established in 1750. After Old Pollokshaws book I was published in November
2002 with its c1900 view of the hamlet on page 5, a copy of this winter snow scene, also identified as Potterfield, was presented to
me. But in comparing the row of houses in the two photographs it was obvious they were not the same, and the background of this
picture showed no details that might have helped confirm identification. However, a closer look at 1858 OS map revealed there were
two rows of dwellings lying in line (not parallel!) about a hundred yards apart. The track that became Haggs Road passed through
the space between them, going in front of the east face of the north row (this one), then at an angle past the west front of the
south row. It has to be assumed that both views were taken looking south. See the accompanying sketch map drawn by Alisdair
Armour. In the 19th century Lochinch coal pit lay about half-a-mile away to the north west, but there were two other pits much
nearer to Potterfield; Quarry pit to the east and Titwood pit to the south east. The buildings of Potterfield were demolished around
1905.
