Hillbank Street, ALEXANDRIA, G83 9AR

This large building at the junction of Burn Street (shown on the left) and Hillbank Street is now used as a garage, but it served as a drill hall during the First World War: see https://canmore.org.uk/site/332989/bonhill-burn-street-drill-hall (at Canmore). For a view from the front of the building, see Image For a slightly more distant view, with context, see Image Another contributor's article provides a useful listing of sites that were used as drill halls during the First World War: http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/WW1-Great-War-Centenary---Drill-Halls Burn Street is so called because a burn used to flow along it: Image

Hillbank Street from the Pappert Burn.

This section of the burn flows past the northern side of Image The lower reaches of the burn (roughly, from here onwards) seem also to be referred to as the Bonhill Burn.

The area is called Bonhill. Burn Street is on the left; just beyond the nearest lamp post, Hillbank Street branches off from it. The large building near the centre of the picture is now a garage, but was used as a drill hall during the First World War: Image

This track would have provided access to Northfield Cottage when the latter was still standing (Image), but it is now simply a farm track. Downhill, at the edge of the field, are the backs of the houses on Hillbank Street (to the left) and its continuation, Northfield Road (to the right). They more or less correspond to the old Slunger Hill Road (in popular usage, simply "the Slunger"), on which, see Image Background details include Image on the skyline, left of centre, and the tower of Image on the right (best seen in larger image sizes). See also Image, a similar view but taken from further uphill (in the adjacent grid square to the east).

This feature is shown on large-scale mapping. See also Image and Image
