Nothing is visible of a World War Two Barrage Balloon anchoring site, which is shown on an RAF photograph (NLA 44, 5.18) taken on 27 August 1942. The area is now occupied partly by a newly built indoor sports complex and partly by what remains of a hard standing in front of St Aloysius' Roman Catholic Church. The site was one of an extensive network that protected the population and industry of central Glasgow and the Clyde from low flying enemy bombers.
Visited by HES, Survey and Recording (ATW, AKK) 18 April 2017.
