Inchyra Road
One of the roads linking the oil refinery, polymer plants and docks with the M9 motorway. A lot of Scotland's trade and almost all the road fuel passes this way. I expect by surveying the traffic here, you could get a very good idea of how well the economy is doing.
The roads in the petrochemical complex are straight and this may be due to the alignment of the runway on the airport that used to occupy this site.

Hinged lamp post, Wholeflats Roundabout
Every now and then a big wide chunk of chemical engineering infrastructure is delivered to Grangemouth. Some of the lamp posts are hinged, so that the road can be widened for overhanging abnormal loads - bit like the palm trees on Thunderbird 2's runway.

Flood relief channel, Grangemouth
The town of Grangemouth is on a low lying plain between two river estuaries. To make things more interesting the Westquarter, later Grange burn flows on to the plain. To prevent frequent flooding, this burn is split into two, some of the water still flows through Grangemouth along an artificial course, and the surplus moved safely out of the way into the Avon. Looking eastwards along the relief channel which runs alongside Wholeflats Road.
Vegetation shows that a lot of water had recently passed this way.

Stands, Grangemouth Stadium
These stands overlook the Athletic Stadium in Grangemouth. Over the years the chemical industry which uses a great deal of land contributed much money in the way of commercial rates to the old Grangemouth Council and first class facilities were built.
