c1920. This fine tenement of four closes known as Afton Terrace is in what was at this time Barrhead Road. The Clydesdale Bank
building in King Street running parallel behind, had a large garden at the rear that reached the backcourts of Afton Terrace, which
covered the same amount of ground as the four backcourts. Beyond is the bowling green seen in 11 with its tall white flag pole
standing out against Pollok Academy. On the left, along the foot of the railway embankment, there were two villas and other
dwellings and business premises occupying the narrow strip of land between the railway station and Cunningham’s garage at
Pollokshaws West. Attached to the garage there was a building with two houses, next to which was the first Eastwood Parish
Church Hall. After the new hall was built next to the church in Mansewood Road around 1935, the old one was occupied by Walker’s
ham curing business. They remained there until the 1960s, then they moved to a smaller building in Shawbridge Street where today
there is a children’s nursery. Note too the roadside telephone poles referred to in 11.
