The legendary Glasgow bank complex that was like a 'wee city in the heart of Pollok'

Getting a job at the huge National Savings Bank (NSB) complex at Boydstone Road in Cowglen was practically a rite of passage for generations of young workers in west central Scotland.

The site opened in 1966, when the bank's services were switched from London to Glasgow.

Served by the railway station at Kennishead and, later, the M77, the massive office was conveniently located for commuters and able to attract workers from far outside the boundaries of Cowglen and Pollok.
