Eastfield, South Lanarkshire

Eastfield is a mainly residential district in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, located between the industrial towns of Rutherglen and Cambuslang in the south-east of the Greater Glasgow urban area.

Parcels of land in Eastfield were found to have been contaminated by chromium waste from the Whites Chemical Works,[7] the most conspicuous of which was a large play area made from a filled-in quarry[4] at the end of Dukes Road; this site stood empty and fenced-off for a number of years before the waste was eradicated, and now modern apartments and a new landscaped park (Quarryfield) occupies the site.

[4][10] The imposing sandstone building of the public school was converted for as a local adult education centre and infant playgroup[11][12] but was demolished in the early 21st century and replaced by modern apartments.

Trinity High's associated sports facilities, including a grid of 5-a-side astroturf football fields (converted to two for the more popular 7-a-side variety in 2021)[20] and a modern swimming pool / leisure centre open to the public as South Lanarkshire Lifestyle Eastfield are located next to the school itself.

The entire district is currently administered as part of the Cambuslang West ward of the South Lanarkshire Council area, which is also the extent of the local community policing zone; however this definition also encompasses several other streets which have always been considered to be in Rutherglen, such as Ettrick Crescent.
