| Comment | High Possil is the area nestled within Milton; Shieldaig Road and around about it.
Possilpark, strictly, is the area to the east of Saracen Street, north of Keppochill Road, west of Carlisle Street and south of Hawthorn Street.
North of Hawthorn Street and east of Balmore Rd would be Parkhouse till it rolls into Milton. West of Saracen Street would be Hamiltonhill till you reach the Canal and Claypits; but west of Balmore Road and north of Hayston Street would be Ruchill till its hits Lambill.
That all said, most people today consider Hamiltonhill, the eastern edges of Ruchill and, probably, most of Parkhouse to be Possilpark.
And, yes, possil is just shortened name for possilpark. |
