B805 Shettleston - Baillieston
This article is about the former B805 at Barlanark, Glasgow.
For the current B805 in Falkirk, see B805
.


The original B805, as classified in 1922, ran between Shettleston and Baillieston to the east of Glasgow, forming a loop to the north of the original line of the A8. When the new Glasgow and Edinburgh road was built in the 1920s, opening as the A89, it bisected the old B805, and it appears that when the new road was renumbered as the A8 in 1935, the old B805 was downgraded. what remains of it is now entirely unclassified.

Today its route starts at the eastern end of Shettleston and heads north along Hallhill Road, past the supermarkets and over the railway. It then swings north east and runs as far as the new A8, where it is broken by development. A stub of the old road then lies beyond the playing fields off of Springhill Parkway, but the old railway bridge appears to be blocked off. New houses have been built across the old road line for a short distance, but then Springcroft Avenue seems to be the old road, before turning onto Rhindmuir Road. This is the old B805 right up to the bollards at the end, beyond which the route is lost under Baillieston Interchange. The original eastern terminus of the road therefore no longer exists.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Bargeddie - Swinton - Shattleston
