Darnley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darnley is an area in south-west Glasgow, Scotland located on the A727 just west of Arden.
Darnley Trading Estate and large retail outlets clustered around junction 3 of the southward extension of the M77 motorway (completed in 1997). The closure of Darnley Hospital in 1992[1] and the opening on the site of a £3million 120-bed nursing home in 1993 has also altered the employment opportunities for the local population and has become symptomatic of the regeneration of modern Darnley. However, there is a huge retail area with large chain stores, including a Sainsbury's supermarket & petrol station, B&Q, Carphone Warehouse, McDonald's, Domino's Pizza, KFC, snack vans and smaller stores such as a pharmacy and Shimla Village takeaway.
[edit] Future development
A new development next to the B&Q is planned with the Du Vere Hotel and 300 more Homes.
