IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Alexander Street, ALEXANDRIA, G83 0PQ

Susannah Street is on the left. The picture was taken from the corner where it meets James Street.

According to nearby signage, it is to let, for storage. It is bounded by Lennox Street to the west, Alexander Street to the south, North Street to the north (the entrance is on that side), and by the railway line to the east. (I have specified "Lennox Street, Alexandria" in the title because there is, 2.5 km to the south, another Lennox Street, in Renton.)

See Image for context; the underpass can be seen in that picture. It leads to Image

From the foot of the steps (Image), North Street continues ahead for about 320 metres before meeting Main Street. On the other side of Main Street, Hill Street continues on more or less the same line. Overton Muir (Image) occupies the central part of the background, with Bromley Muir (Image) to its right (NNW). Like Main Street, North Street was in existence when the first-edition OS map was surveyed in 1860. Hill Street, on the other side of Main Street, had not yet been built. North Street was at that time appropriately named, being the northern limit of development in this part of Alexandria. The railway footbridge from which this picture was taken was also present in 1860. The view from there would then have shown gasworks to the right (north) of the road, where there is now a garage. There is still a gas governor there. The eastern side of the footbridge, the side behind the photographer, is shown in Image

This is just part of a much longer mural. For context, see Image, an earlier picture. This detail from the mural is on the section of white wall that is at the back in the earlier picture. See Image for another detail.

This is just one part of a longer mural; this section shows Image and Image The section out of shot to the right shows Robert the Bruce and a birlinn. The section out of shot to the left shows a fisherman, a heron, Image, and some of the wildlife sustained by the river itself. For another section, to the photographer's left, see Image For context, see Image, an earlier picture; the section of mural shown in the present picture is on the section of white wall that is, in the earlier picture, just to the left of the red and blue information panels. See Image for a more distant view of the same area from the other side, likewise taken before the mural was painted.

On this side, North Street leads to the foot of the steps; see Image, a view back from the top of these steps. The other side is shown in Image On that side, a road (Image) leads, depending on the direction chosen, either to India Street or to Antartex and Loch Lomond Distillery: Image / Image / Image

On the far side of the bridge (Image), and continuing in the same direction, is North Street, Alexandria: Image On this side, behind the photographer, is the northern end of India Street (the end that is nearest the photographer's position in Image). Also behind the photographer, and separated from India Street by some bollards, is the start of a road that leads past the bonded warehouses of Image and the entrance of Image (Image / Image) before meeting Bowie Road. For that road, see Image (a view to the right from the point from which the present picture was taken), and Image

India street and Turkey Red Dye Works Gates Alexandria

For a view in the opposite direction from about the same place, see Image In the foreground there is a small car park and the part of the River Leven near Image In front of the houses in the left background is the raised line of the railway. There are some pedestrian tunnels below that line.
