Halfway, Glasgow
Halfway is a suburb on the southside of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. Once a village in its own right, sitting on the original Renfrewshire-Glasgow border, the area takes its name from the fact that it lies equidistantly between Glasgow and Paisley. In the late 1920s, Halfway and a handful of neighbouring villages, including Cardonald and Crookston, were annexed to the ever-expanding city of Glasgow. Through the 1940s and 50s, Halfway was developed significantly to the point where there is very little trace of the original village on what is still the main dual carriageway between Glasgow and Renfrewshire.
