Battlefield Rest built in 1915, a local land mark, it was a
tram station and newsagent, and was once described
"as the most exotic tram shelter in Scotland". Decorated with gleaming green and cream
tiles, the "Rest" had
a kiosk at the end under the
octagonal clock tower. It became a B-listed
building in 1981. In late 1990 a demolition order was impose
by Glasgow
District
Council Building Control because of the unsafe
and partly damage
structure of the building. After a
petition was signed, with
signatures from over 1500 people, it was saved
from destruction. It was sold to a private business man
who in early 1993 started a restoration project to bring the building
back to its original
state. In 1994 it was transformed into a restaurant and now
today it happily survives intact for every one to enjoy.
