The view is superficially similar to another contributor's picture of the Main Street (NS6960 : Uddingston, the Cross), but the present photograph was taken from a point about 500 metres further to the north. The people near the middle of the picture are standing beside the junction with Gardenside Street. The view is from the junction with Lower Millgate.

My thanks to John M, who pointed out that parts of the building near the centre of the picture, on the far side of Gardenside Street, where the people are standing, was used as a drill hall in the First World War. John also supplied the following useful Canmore link with further details: LinkExternal link
