NS3978 : Benches in the industrial estate

taken 7 years ago, near to Bonhill, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Benches in the industrial estate
Benches in the industrial estate
The benches and gravel are recent; this space had all been grassy. The view is from beside a pillar box: NS3978 : Pillar box in the industrial estate.

The benches and the surrounding grass were later cleared away: NS3978 : Cleared ground in the industrial estate.

Note a minor but strange error on large-scale mapping, where a small semicircular body of water is shown on the other side of the road in the background (Burroughs Way). In fact, there is a small brick structure there: NS3978 : Inscriptions commemorating two Royal Visits / NS3978 : Inscriptions commemorating two Royal Visits.

Such errors occasionally crept in when the paper maps were converted to a digital format, and a line or an area was misinterpreted; compare NS4278 : Old boundary.
Vale of Leven Industrial Estate

Of the very extensive lands that came to be associated with Strathleven House – Link – a portion was compulsorily purchased by the Board of Trade in 1947, and was developed by Scottish Industrial Estates Ltd in 1948 to form the Vale of Leven Industrial Estate. At the estate's inception, Westclox Ltd and Burroughs Adding Machines had factories here, but they are now gone. Polaroid, a later arrival, lasted until 2017. The estate is used by a number of smaller businesses, and there are some vehicle depots.
