Newbank is a district in the east-end of Glasgow

Newbank House has left no remains, but there is a fine red-sandstone 19th century Newbank Primary School in Springfield Road. In Glasgow, the Newbank area is thought of as a 'tough' neighbourhood, with a history tarnished with gang violence.
Many residents of Newbank would consider themselves residents of Tollcross
or Parkhead

Ward of Glasgow City Council.
