The Wellgreen from Haggs Road (c1915). From the early days of the village it was a triangular railed-in grassy area containing a well
with a pavement all round, and it is seen here with the original fourteen or fifteen lime trees newly planted round its border. In 2004
just ten of the trees have survived the building of the first, then the second doctors centres. Not visible here, so it must have been
installed after this picture was taken, is the granite ornamental fountain, or well, seen in the photo on page 37 of Old Pollokshaws.
The tenement on the left is in the short street known as Wellgreen, at that time it was Wilson Street. Behind and to its right is Sir
John Maxwell School, then in the distance the isolated two-close tenement in Bengal Street known as Orchard Place, and the Burgh
Halls. Beyond the railings here, Ashtree Road, which isn’t recorded on the 1913 OS map, looks as if it is newly laid out to run from
what was then Barrhead Road up to meet Factory Street at the rear of the Townshouse. On the right near hand beyond the nearest
gas lamp standard is the entrance to the goods station of the LMS Railway, with its sign projecting up from behind the sleeper fence.
Also seen are five of the tall posts, which supported the (invisible) span wires that carried the power supply for the trams
