NEWLANDS
Leafy residential suburb, mainly of stone-built semidetached villas with relatively few but large rooms.
Newlands House was owned by James Maclehose in 1795, although the majority of Newlands, within Cathcart estate, was agricultural. Newlandsfield Bleach Works were on the left bank of the Cart, north of Riverford Road, later becoming a tram depot and now a supermarket. Auldhouse Retail Park was the site of the first printfield for calicos and linens in the west of Scotland. Newlands Road was laid out in 1895 and speculative villas were built rapidly up to 1905 when the land was largely developed; the building boom had fizzled out by 1907.
