ANSWERS:
12) The "Unitas" sign appears on the north face of the old Shettleston Co-operative Society building adjacent to 978 Shettleston Road.
13) This pawnbroker's sign must be one of the few still left in Glasgow. It hangs above the Shettleston Road/Wellshot Road corner and advertised the pawnbroking and loan office of John Ross & Co. at 9, Wellshot Road who remained in business until 1986.
14) There cannot be many Royal Ciphers erected on government buildings during the short ten month reign of Edward VIII. This one can be seen on the south facing wall of the buildings at the Wellshot Road/Pettigrew Street corner on the building which from 1936 until 1983 was the Shettleston telephone exchange.
15) Many tenement properties had at one time individual names. Where such names were painted on the building, they have been lost within the stone-cleaning process carried out in many such buildings in recent years. This name - Staurt Place - has survived due to its being inscribed into the stone on this building at 1527-1541 Shettleston Road.
