Former public hall, Alexandria
This category B listed building stands at the junction of Bridge Street and Bank Street (visible on the right), and was built in 1862 as a public hall. It was later put to use as the Hall Cinema, and then, as the remaining lettering shows, the Vale Bingo Club. At the time when this photograph was taken, it was being used as a furniture showroom. For another view, see Image Its listed building report provides further details: http://portal.historic-scotland.gov.uk/designation/LB43193 (at Historic Environment Scotland). An old photograph of Bonhill Bridge from c.1893 shows a small structure in front of this building: a drinking fountain, which was "a gift to the community by the Smolletts, and was erected in 1879 to commemorate the opening of the 'Tank' or Overton Reservoir (Image). The fountain was removed in the 1930s presumably because cars were more reluctant to go round it than horses had been" ["The Old Vale and the New", Jones/Hopner, 1981]. (The reservoir mentioned above is shown in Image)

Pyramid with Bonhill Bridge plaque
There are three of these small pyramids standing here in a car-parking area at the riverside, next to Bonhill Bridge; of these, only the one shown in this image bears a plaque (by 2015, the plaque had gone). Its text reads: "Bonhill Bridge erected by the County Council of Dunbarton was opened for traffic on 2nd July 1898. Convener of the County The Rt. Honble. Lord Overtoun. Chairman of the Road Board John Gilmour Esqr." Note that the plaque does not describe the existing (as of 2009) bridge (see Image), but, rather, its immediate predecessor. The white building visible through the trees, in the background, was (when this picture was taken) used by a dental practice.

Bonhill Bridge ("Rainbow Bridge") - River Leven
The original Bonhill Bridge (Bawbee Bridge) was built in 1836. It was a chain suspension bridge and was nicknamed "Bawbee Bridge" due to the charge made for a person to cross it. The second Bonhill Bridge was opened in 1898 and was nicknamed "Whipple Arch". It had a span of 50m and a width of 11.5m. The steel bridge was supported on four red sandstone abutments and carried the usual utilities as well as the tramlines for this new form of transport in the area. The third Bonhill Bridge was nicknamed “Rainbow Bridge” and the first car drove over it on 28 July 1987. It is made of 284 tonnes of steel, with a span of 60m and width of 14.5m.
