Question "Here is a family photo from 1921. It's my late mother, Winifred (Winnie) Butler. On the reverse of the photo, my late grandmother wrote that it was taken in London Road. I haven't been able to check if the buildings are still there. Any idea where they were?" Richard Keltie, Glasgow, Scotland: May 9, 2011 |

Reply The wall with the arches behind Winnie in this photo is the frontage of London Road Foundry, on London Road to the west of the junction with Marionville Road. The foundry closed and was demolished in 1996 to make way Meadowbank Retail Park shopping complex that opened the following year. Here is a photo what remained of the foundry wall in 1996. The framework of the shopping centre being built can be seen in the background of this photo: Peter Stubbs, Edinburgh: May 17, 2011 |
