Carntyne Square Box

[hb88banzai]

The Box on the median strip down the centre of Edinburgh Road, immediately north of Carntyne Square - C3.

Another of those strange white concrete boxes from 1933 that were installed along with the more common red Trench style Boxes that formed the bulk of the new system.

Here it is in 1950 --

The central median the Box was on is in the foreground of this shot as the original photo was taken from the sidewalk behind the google streetview's POV, which was in the middle of the roadway.
