IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Sheena Drive, ALEXANDRIA, G83 9PL

The view is from Cordale Point. The houses are at Strathleven.

This photograph was taken from the southern end of the street, where it meets Strathleven Drive.

Footpath next to the A813 looking south towards Mill Fields, Bonhill. Dillichip Close to the right hand side.

Stirling Road is in the foreground, and the Mill Fields construction site is in the background. An existing junction here has been given a new roundabout. The red sign says "no right turn for construction traffic".

The picture was taken beside a bus stop. As the map shows, Strathleven Estate is on the near side of the road. When this picture was taken, an application to develop the land on the other side of the road had recently been submitted; the present picture will serve for comparison with others taken after work began. That area is better seen in a view from the hedge on the other side of the road: Image A sign that had appeared here by July 2016 gives "Mill Fields" as the name of the development.

The tree is one of those shown in Image (a picture of the site before development).

Looking towards Overton Muir.

See also Image, which shows the same area from the other side of that road. Part of the same road appears on the extreme right in the present picture. At the time of submission of this picture (May 2016), an application had been submitted for a major residential development here. The application was still pending consideration. The two prominent mature trees that are within the proposed development site are both shown in this picture. One is a Sycamore, the other a Pedunculate Oak. At the western boundary of the site (and in the foreground of this picture) is a young hawthorn hedge. A sign that had appeared here by July 2016 gives "Mill Fields" as the name of the development. [The identification of the trees is from one of the documents associated with the planning application.]

This is a view from the southern end of the street. Directly behind the photographer's position is a meadow crossed by a footpath; in fact, the photograph was taken from the edge of the meadow, which is shown in Image and Image Not far away is Image

A subdivision of New Bonhill is called Redburn, after this burn. I have had a different burn, the one that currently flows through the Redburn area of housing (it flows east-west through Image), pointed out to me as "the Red Burn". It would be natural to make that identification, but OS maps from the first-edition (1860) to the present-day disagree. The Red Burn is the one shown here. It flows along the southern edge of the New Bonhill estates. The course of the burn is important in that it served as the boundary between Dumbarton and Bonhill Parishes.
