Are we facing east or west? Here are some screen caps from 1967 showing Tonnochy and Lockhart looking southeasterly. Not sure there is a match, so perhaps this is looking west?
The photographer was on Lockhart Road East bound, facing south. The other road by the right was Tonnochy Road. My previous capture from Google Maps should have shown the approximate location of the Google car when it took the collective pictures a few years ago.
thanks Thomas, I had neglected to notice your link :-( Now I see where you meant and as it happens you CAN see that same building on the screen caps! Excellent stuff. Many thanks.
Hi Thomas and Phil. I got a bit lost in your conversation about the buildings but, checking on my images, I see where they were. If you look at my photograph Lockhart Road (directly underneath the Waffles or Doughnut one) you'll just see an old pillar at the extreme right that also appears on the old building shown in Tenements and shops. You and Moddsey are excellent at pinpointing things. Well done! Andrew

Re: Likely where Tonnochy Road meets Lockhart Road
Hi there,
That Mahjong School gave the position as where Tonnochy Road meets Lockhart Road despite it had moved a bit east, just to the next store front.

Tonnochy Road?
