This postcard, produced for John Forrest of the Post Office in Thankerton, shows the contrast between the old and new houses in Thankerton. It clearly indicates that there was a sudden growth in prosperity in rural Clydesdale between 1890 and 1910. The excellent transport links enabled people to commute to work in Glasgow via trains such as the Tinto Express.
