The village is still much the same apart from Council houses on both sides of the road where the Horse & Cart are.
If anyone wants a present day photo I can do that from the same vantage point.

Here is Avonbridge today, from the same vantage point, and and a bit closer so you can see the Church.

Here is a view of the house at Crossroads where I believe the Fleming family lived. This was a Gatehouse to
a large Mansion House.

Yes, this is the Main Street through the village, there are one or two side streets on the right but apart from that
the village is strung out along the main street and Slamannan road.

I've been following this thread with great interest and have thoroughly enjoyed all the findings for George!

Before you visit, or just to have a walk round Avonbridge, why not go to Google Maps, pull the 'wee man' onto the map and you'll be able to have a really good look around.

Anne,
          Thank you for being with us on this wee voyage round Avonbridge and its surrounds, like you I try to help where I can and when George comes north as he plans, I will meet him and introduce him to locals who remember his family and where they were.

James.
