Auldton Drive and Auldton Gardens, Lesmahagow

Auldton Drive and Kelso Avenue form a social housing development on the south side of Balgray Road. Auldton Drive forms a u-shape and Abbeyhill Road runs between the two sides of the U of Auldton Drive. Auldton Gardens is a more recent addition as are the houses in Auldton Drive next to it. This is a very pleasant area with a large grassed area complete with a swing park for kids. The terraced houses in Auldton Drive look out over this area. The photographs were taken not long after the housing had been given a facelift and renovation by South Lanarkshire Council.

These photographs were taken on 18th August 2016 unless otherwise stated.
