Rutherglen

[Mackiwi]

Hello,
I have 4 queries.
1 can anyone tell me which end of Rodger Drive Rutherglen that the numbers start. I am looking for  # 5.
2 what road the Rutherglen Cemetery is on.
3 What road I would find the East kilbride Cemetery.
4 Any information about 222 Main Street Rutherglen.

I have been able to Google Earth Rutherglen and would love to be able to pick out the land marks for these places.

Cheers
Mackiwi

There are two cemeteries in Rutherglen
Rutherglen cemetery Mill Street opened in 1881
and
Rutherglen Old parish cemetery, Main Street opened in 1262

East Kilbride cemetery which opened in 1904 can be found at

222 Main Street Rutherglen is (or was the last time I drove past it) a typical tenement building with shops on the street level and houses above.
If you google 222 Main Street Rutherglen you will find an address and telephone number for a Marie Curie Hospice shop.
Postcode is G73 2HP which should pinpoint it on google maps for you

I think street numbers start at the closest end to Glasgow City


There is also a cemetery in East Kilbride village at the Old Parish Church

I think the "tradition" in most towns/cities in Scotland was to number the streets from their own town centre outwards.

Hello Myrrdin, & sancti,
Thank you both for your quick replies.
re Rodger Drive I wasn't sure if Stonelaw rd or Mill st was closest to the town centre.
The dates of the Cemeteries opening has given me a clue as to which ones I should be looking for.
222 Main st was the address at time of death in 1898. As the occupant at that time was also a well known Restraunteur, I had wondered if they lived above the restraurant. There was no reply to my query to the Hospice shop you mention.
One more question if I may, 32 View Park Drive Rutherglen. Would it be in the same area as Rodger Drive ?

My lady out lived 2 husbands so I have her all 3 address'

Regards
Mackiwi

Rodger Drive overlooks Overton Park and bowling greens

222 Main Street is part of a fairly modern shopping centre almost across the road from Rutherglen Old Parish Church
