Tollcross Park Church, 16 Drumover Drive, Tollcross, Glasgow G31

OS Grid Ref: NS 630640

The church was demolished (I believe during the last decade) and a block of flats has been built on the vacant ground.
The war memorial was rescued and is now stored in St. Margaret’s Tollcross Church, Braidfauld Street.
Unfortunately the memorial (which is exceedingly heavy to move) is difficult to photograph as it is located under a stairwell.
