From 'The History of Partick', by William Greenhorne, 1928 :-
'The minutes of the Club (PCC) do not record where the Club Games and Matches were played during the early years of its existence, but in 1848 the Club leased from Mr. James Gibson, of Hilhead,about an acre of ground situated near the branch of the Western Road leading to Partick, and known by the name "Clayholes". This ground was evidently near the foot of what is now Great George Street and the west side of Byres Road. The "Curlers Tavern" in Byres Road doubtless derived it's name from the Club's occupancy of this pond. After some years the Club removed to a pond on the west side of Peel Street, Partick, where Hamilton Terrace West, now stands. At a later date the Club occupied a pond known as "Craft Crown" at the west end of the present Queensborough Gardens, where it remained until they obtained their present quarters in Balshagray Avenue.'
