Amazing how some names of the area have changed. Bellahouston was BillyHouston Ibrox was Eye Broke (broke maybe meaning Brook/Burn?) Broomloan.......... stays! Are there any historians who can explain what some of the older names meant please? The piggery is off course in that doctored map. The tramps park is above Billyhouston and was moved,shitey brick by shitey brick,to the east end by the racist pape brother walfrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
