Taken from this view point, the degree of change to Cranhill is hidden. Behind the camera, further up Blairtummock Road, the Queenslie scheme suffered a crueller fate. Completely demolished, its presence is preserved only in street names - Horndean,...

The houses at the corner of Bellrock Street and Bellrock Crescent have not long been demolished judging by the debris still lying around. The structure to the right of the picture is a 'doo-cot' - used for the ubiquitous sport of 'fleein' the doo'.
