St Andrew's Cross, also known as Eglinton Toll, is a road junction in the south side of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.
First constructed during the early 1800s, the junction formerly held several buildings including a power station and cinema, but have been removed for a variety of reasons.
Addresses on each side of the cross come under three different postcodes (G5, G41 and G42), indicating its status as a locality which is not classed as falling fully within any single district of the city.
[9][10][11] Several local bus routes (previously also trams)[2] use the roads meeting at the cross, and its proximity to the Larkfield bus depot off Victoria Road made it a popular point for drivers to relieve one another at shift ends,[12][13] with the Star Bar public house and diner, noted for its bargain meal prices[14][15] located at its northern apex receiving much of its patronage from them.
[17] The cross also once had a power station,[18][19] a gasworks,[20] a tram depot (1890s),[21][22] a cinema[23] and a large dance hall, The Plaza Ballroom, in its vicinity;[24][25] the latter has since been demolished and replaced by modern apartments which incorporate some of the original red sandstone facade,[26] while part of the power station, which was later adapted by the local council into a printing works, survives but as a derelict structure.
