John,
Pretoria Street was at the southern end of Silverbanks Street, and ran parallel to Glasgow Road. It had only two closes - one on either side of and round the corner from Silverbanks Street. Pretoria Street looked out onto the old quarry and across to Dukes Road, and in the other direction, about 100 yards away, down Silverbanks Street across Glasgow Road and through the railway yard and over the railway line was the Hoover factory.

Bill,

I've e-mailed you re this - it would certainly tie in with what I remember my Dad telling me.

I just noticed that it can be located in one of my pics at ... http://www.edwardboyle.com/EB/cambuslang/50%20to%2052%20Glasgow%20Rd.jpg

More or less where I thought. Thanks Ed.
