TIMES PAST
Why it s called St Andrew s Cross and other things you didn t know about Eglinton Toll. RIDING in carriages over cobbled streets was uncomfortable, so the introduction of Glasgow’s first trams must have been a huge relief. It was 1870, and the first tracks were a two-and-a-half mile stretch from St George’s Cross to Eglinton Toll. Can’t imagine the roadworks were much fun in 1946, however – our photographs show men at work repairing and replacing the tram lines around the important city spot. Of course, by the time this picture was taken just after the war, the days of the trams were almost over and by the late 50s and early 60s, the distinctive cars would have all but disappeared.
