Bo'ness


Photographs taken today during a visit to Bo'ness. We begin with some fine municipal housing of the inter-war era by local architect Matthew Steele, whose work apparently featured national romantic, Vienna Secession and Art Deco detailing:
















Earlier, just before the First World War, Steele designed the very charming Hippodrome cinema:



 More 1930s work:



Next, a visit to the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, which was hosting a 'diesel gala' day:



































Finally, some Bo'ness shop signs:
