Every time someone complains about Southside train station names, we should rename another station. Shawlands becomes Pollokshaws North; Queens Park becomes Pollokshields South; Glasgow Central becomes Pollokshields North. https://www.glasgowbell.co.uk/pollok-southside-train-station-names/
Who Polloksed up the Southside’s station names?
Four almost identically named train stations lie within two miles of each other. Why?

This used to be on my walk home from school. Through the tunnels , turn left and it was 200m to the chip shop on the corner where the bus fare I didn't use would probably be spent. Shawlands was almost posh. 🙃

The gothic pinnicles of the early 1900s Shawlands Trinity Church on the Southside of Glasgow rising between curved sandstone tenement buildings.

Love this piece of decorative metalwork on an old Bank of Scotland building by Shawlands Cross in Glasgow.

It's a dreich old evening, so here's a wee splash of Shawlands sunshine from last Friday night. We're looking at Neil Campbell Duff's beautifully ornate corner tenement of 1904 for the Glasgow Savings Bank, completed a year before the New City Rd branch, also by Duff.

Former Glasgow Savings Bank branch at Shawlands Cross in Glasgow. This beautiful building was designed by Neil Duff and was constructed in 1906.

Designed by Clarke and Bell, and built in 1912, it's one of quite a large number of surprisingly ornamental 'turn-of-the-century' public houses across the city.

The late 19th Century Crossmyloof Mansions at the junction of Pollokshaws Road and Kilmarnock Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Despite its name, this is a tenement building, albeit a rather upmarket one.

My favourite local graffiti artist is @MackColours (Insta), who brightens up the neighborhood of Shawlands and surrounds with his unique style.
