This is the old road bridge (c1798) over the River Cart in Pollokshaws Road in 1930, probably when it was still called Barrhead Road.
Pollokshaws West railway signal box is seen on the left, and the low brick built ‘howf’ at the end of the railway bridge parapet is the
oil store for the signal lamps. Pickwell’s house is at the entrance to Pollok Estate. (See page 9 in Old Pollokshaws book I for a view of
the new bridge under construction, and page 10 for the story and photo of the accident in 1926 when a locomotive came off the line
and landed in Pickwell’s back garden.) In some of these photographs taken on the main road, like here, what looks like birds against
the sky are the insulators of the tram span-wires.
