This nostalgic scene is typical of any weekday
night at Bridgeton Cross during the 1950s.

using acrylics on canvas board measuring 508 x 406 mm (20" x 16").
Looking southwards, Dalmarnock Road is to
the left beyond the Umbrella with Main Street to the right of the
number 26 tramcar enroute to Scotstoun via Partick. The tramcar on the
left, number 26A, is en route to Shawfield via Main Street, Bridgeton.
James Street is located to the right of the two motor vehicles,
entering the cross from Main Street at Cockburns the Chemist. The

Street. The Carter is heading towards the coal depot in Dalmarnock Road
