Dist:0.2km<br/>This Church in Dixon Avenue is one of the earliest post- Reformation Catholic churches outwith central Glasgow, and was built in 1911. The parish of Holy Cross had been established in 1886 during the short period when Crosshill was an independent burgh. The architects were Pugin and Pugin, whose Italianate design provides a local landmark.

Dist:0.3km<br/>There is much to see in this photo which was taken from just north of the bottom of the steps which look onto Victoria Road. The gates were erected in 1907, 50 years after the park opened. Despite being at the end of Victoria Road and being opened during the reign of Queen Victoria, the park is actually named after Mary, Queen of Scots. The wide thoroughfare that is Victoria Road is lined with shops on both sides. It eventually "joins" Eglinton Street (there is no direct connection) where the "TOA railway Bridge" and the new M74 Northern Extension elevated motorway (the light blue horizontal bar) can be seen in the middle distance. Note the profusion of satellite TV dishes along the left side of the road. Jurys Inn by the River Clyde and the 4Km distant CineWorld building dominate the city centre, with the skeletal remains of St Andrews House which is being converted to a hotel to its right. The police van is parked at Kingarth Street where a two block section of Victoria Road is closed following a building collapse a few days earlier and where residents have been evacuated from their flats. The dark outline of the Campsie Fells completes the scene, which is best viewed in the largest size. See the same view in the opposite direction (from Jamaica Street) here [[2599848]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>Crosshill and Govanhill Burgh Hall was gifted to the burghs by William Smith Dixon of Govan Iron Works. The Scottish Baronial building was completed in 1879. The architect was Frank Stirrat, the winner of a competition for its commission. The boundary between the two burghs bisected the building allowing courtrooms and offices for each burgh to have separate access. The building was renamed Dixon Halls when Crosshill and Govanhill were annexed by Glasgow in 1891.
