Kinning Park Anderson Street ~ 1930
« on: Friday 04 March 16 18:15 GMT (UK) »
Going a little demented here.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a map of old Kinning Park showing Anderson Street circa 1930

Keep getting diverted to Partick which I don't want.

I know that most of the old streets ended up under the M8

Anderson Street, Kinning Park became Sleads Street at some point - in the 1943 Directory is is listed as this but in the 1930 Directory it is still listed under its original name. (it ran off of West Scotland Street)

Maybe later than 1920s, Falkryn? There is a mention here of Anderson Street, Kinning Park in the 1931-2 Post Office Directory for Glasgow.

Anderson Street ran from West Scotland Strret to Vermont Street - the street is shown but not named in the 1912 plan of Glasgow at the NLS - I have checked my older maps and confirmed its location

Yes, I spotted that after I had posted   ::)   

It looks like it happened sometime before the 1935/36 Directory was published and after the 1930/31 issue

Vermont Street can still be seen on modern maps and judging by them Anderson Street was around where Junction 22 of the M8 is now
