St Paul's school was opened in 1905 with 180 pupils but by 1907 it had grown to over 400.

Going along Dumbarton Road towards Partick, Whiteinch Cross is the intersection with Glendore Street (formerly Gordon Street) on your left and Smith Street on your right.Many parts of Glasgow including the city centre had "crosses", thus called for religious significance. Markets were often held here and they were a common place to meet friends. Partick Burgh installed clocks at prominent places and one of the original tenements had one at the topThe left hand of Dumbarton Road at Whiteinch Cross still has some tenement buildings with businesses below but these are not the originals. The right hand side was also totally cleared for the building of the Clyde Tunnel and is now landscaped. There are plans to regenerate Whiteinch Cross

Additional cells were added in 1906The burgh used an old ambulance wagon for picking up inebriates and for conveying prisoners from Whiteinch to Partick. The cost of whipping juveniles in 1906 was £1, 4s, 6d per quarter (this equates to about £410/annum at today's rate of inflation)

Sited on the corner of Oswald/George Street (now Inchlee/Medwyn Street)  the fire station sat beside the Whiteinch Police Station and Whiteinch Lesser Burgh Hall.No mention of a fire station at that location is found on maps from 1915 onwardsA contemporary account suggests there were three firemen available for duty .....Whiteinch had " a small fire brigade which consisted of James Hardie, the plumber, Sandy MacArthur the carpenter and Mic Cochrane, the joiner, with a handbarrow containing the hose and ladder etc."

It was once a much larger complex that had two swimming pools, including additional baths for women and men, and a Turkish bath. The retained central pavilion of the baths makes a good contribution to the streetscape, and is rare as a building type as not many early 20th century baths now survive. The unusual brick and Edwardian Baroque style represents a well-detailed example of civic architecture, and it continues to makes an important contribution to an area of the city which has been largely redeveloped. The baths closed in the 1990s and were vacant until redeveloped into housing in 2008.

The area of Clydeview stretched all the way from Haldane Street to Thornwood roundabout. Terraces of high class houses were demolished to make way for the Clyde Tunnel and its approach roads.
