Runs from 504 Duke Street to Gallowgate, and was previously known as East Nelson Street and East Miller Street, named after the Miller family who owned the lands of Slatefield.
At number 7 stood the Scotia Picture House (see East End Picture Houses thread)
At number 16 stood a store, built in the 1890's, which later became the premises of J & J Kent, grain merchants.
At number 87 stood the Camlachie Goods & Mineral Station, opened around 1875 by the North British Railway. It is believed some of Buffalo Bill Cody's entourage resided in railway carriages on the sidings during one of the visits to Glasgow.
At numbers 165/177 stood the Crown Fireclay Works, founded in 1860 by James Shearer. Later became the premises of John Steele & Sons Ltd. and then Clydesdale Chemical Co.
At number 160 stood the Whitevale Cotton Mills, premises of William McCoard & Sons Ltd., cotton manufacturers.
At numbers 22/26 stood the premises of Vulcan Firelighters Ltd.
At number 27 stood a small gospel hall.
Part of the street was previously known as Wilson Place (possibly nos. 6 to 10).
