Field Visit (21 August 2017)
Nothing is visible in an area now occupied by a school of a World War Two barrage balloon anchoring site described in a document held by The National Archives at Kew (TNA AIR25/584). 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) 21 August 2017.
