Terregles Road
As the name suggests Terregles Road forms part of the spoke from Dumfries leading to the village of Terregles approximately 2 miles further West from Summerhill. When Summerhill housing estate was originally completed the visible marker connecting the urban area of Dumfries and the rural areas beyond was the hump back railway bridge on Terregles Road. In the 1990s the urban boundary moved further West with the development of a new housing estate beyond the bridge. Terregles Road was also home to the offices and yard of Haley's builders before Haley's demise.
The terraced houses on the council built Southern side of Terregles Road contain 4 bedroom gable end houses. As such the 4 bedroom houses were used by the council for housing the biggest families in Summerhill. The numbers of the 4 bedroom gable end houses are 3, 9, 11, 25, 27, 33, 35, 41, 43, 57, 59 and 65.
Terregles Road is a continuation of Terregles Street. Terregles Street is home to Palmerston Park of Queen of the South F.C.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
