This part of Tradeston Street was blocked off in (I think) the late 1950's. This allowed A & W Smith & Co (later Smith Mirrlees) to expand by building a "New" Bay. I worked there from 1977 'til its closure in 1988.

I grew up in this area in the 50's and 60's,it's pretty much a desert now but then it was a hustling bustling docklands neighbourhood.The river Clyde is at the bottom of the picture and this area was heavily bombed during the Blitz which accounts for a lot of the empty spaces in the picture.I never look at this picture without it bringing back happy memories of friends and family no longer with us.Thank you for a great site.
