Hallside (ward)
Drumsagard Village is a new construction village in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire. It is built around the site of Drumsagard Castle and immediately south of the site of Hallside Steelworks, also known as the Cambuslang Iron and Steel Works. One of the first facilities of their kind and eventually extending over an area of around 33 acres, the steelworks were established in 1873 and closed in 1979. History The Parish of Cambuslang in the Barony of Drumsargard, also spelt Drumsagart, meaning "ridge of the priest" – can be traced back to the time of King Alexander II of Scotland (1214–49) when it belonged to Walter Olifard, Justiciar of Lothian. The Barony of Drumsargard (whose castle ruins can be discerned to the south-east of Hallside although none of the structure itself now remains) passed to Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas in 1370, as part of the settlement in his marriage to Johanna, daughter of Thomas Moray of Bothwell. In 1452 the Douglases were displaced in favo ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Noddy Housing
Noddy housing (sometimes called "Noddy Box Housing" or "Shoddy Noddy Boxes") is commercially built housing of low build quality or design merit. Noddy houses are typically small homes on narrow plots of land built since the early 1990s by large property development companies. They are normally considered to be far less spacious than homes built in preceding decades of the 20th century, and are perceived as being poorly executed architecturally and aesthetically. A counterpoint to this argument is that they are not so much poorly executed houses, but simply cheaper houses with the merit of being more affordable. If they were more spacious and built of better materials on larger plots of land, self-evidently they would cost more. Design and appearance Noddy houses usually appear to tip towards traditional ideals of British housebuilding through use of brick and masonry detail, gabled and hipped roof forms, and window and door styles derived from older methods of construction. ...
