Hello,
Can anyone tell me what type of structures are presently located at 37 Whins Road and 133 Greenfield Street (maybe Road)?
Thanks, Nan

Hi Nan,

If you go to Google, type in an address (e.g. 37 Whinns Road, Alloa), hit 'Maps', this will open up a map of the area.

Once there, pull the wee yellow man onto the 'spot' and you can go on a 'virtual' walk-about!

Great fun!

Anne

Hi,Nan. With regard to 133 Greenfield Street,Alloa. These are terraced houses in blocks of four,two up and two down,I believe. I lived at 128,until I was seven(in 1958). Between 129 and 131 there used to be a footpath which let to a footbridge accessing the area known as Hutton Park. When crossing the footbridge a coal yard could be seen below, as well as a railtrack.

If you do google Greenfield Street and follow it to the left, you will find what used to be called Clackmannan County Hospital (which had an A&E department). This was closed as an A&E and all casualties transferred to Stirling Royal Infirmary. Also behind Greenfield Street the Sunnyside Cemetery can be found.
