Much of the area was cleared in the 1960s as Pollokshaws became a Comprehensive Development Area.
The modern tenement housing on the opposite side of MacDougall St offers a response to the hexagonal corner bay window and cupola.

There are so few surviving fragments of old Pollokshaws left, that this beautiful turn of the 20th century corner tenement on Riverford Rd qualifies despite being a "modern" addition to the 17th century weaving village.

Glasgow is rolling out AI-driven traffic signals to Paisley Road West and Aitkenhead Road in a £650,000 initiative to prioritise bus travel and reduce congestion on busy corridors. Glasgow City Council is expanding its use of artificial intelligence at traffic signals to prioritise bus movements across the city following a successful trial on Pollokshaws Road. Paisley Road West and Aitkenhead Road have been identified as the next key corridors to receive the virtual loop technology, aimed at reducing delays at major junctions.

From "How to Be a Poet" by Wendell Berry, who died last week at 92. On Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow, in front of billboard screens and McDonalds that I don't think he would've approved of, but in front of Scottish Ballet, Tramway arts centre, and Secret Garden which hopefully he would.

This week's Friday pub is the Cockatoo at 220 Pollokshaws Rd, near the Plaza Ballroom. There had been a pub on this site since 1872, and was previously known as the Glen. It was demolished in the late 90s and the space is now occupied by flats.

Born in Pollokshaws on this day, 1879, the great socialist, John Maclean. During the First World War, he was charged with sedition and made a uncompromising speech from the dock:
“I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”
“I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”
