According to name lists it only became Megan Street sometime between 1920 and 1940's.
Previously its name was "Little Brown Street" and was in Dalmarnock.
Unfortunately neither The Glasgow Story nor the Virtual Mitchell pages appear to have any photographs although there are some of the Dalmarnock Road area
