Can anyone identify the tower in the centre with the green hat?.... It's just occured to me, is it the Tolbooth Steeple under repair?

Mk, you also posted this pic of Clydebank, where did you get it from?

I spent the first 10 years of my childhood in the now non existant tenements of Alexander St. Directly across from the big Co-op building at bottom right.

Nice to see Kilbowie again at the top of the pic. Seen one or two 'classics' in there! What is it now? Bloody Asda or something no doubt?

Yes, the more I think about it, the Steeple would be far more to the left?

Oh I've had one or two myself. There's also one built on the site of Douglas Park, Hamilton Accies old ground. No doubt Broomfield in Airdrie has the same.

Kinda sums up today's society, build fast food outlets on top of sporting arenas.

The site of old Broomfield is a Morrison's Supermarket. Here is how it looked before the ground was flattened

That one will probably get the bus boys reaching for their magnifiers!
