Greggs Bakery old A8 (A89) Broxburn

I'd guess this was an old roadhouse from the days when this was the A8. Now a handy stop for those in need of a pie or a tasty Greggs Steak-Bake!

Bangour Hospital Sign

The Hospital has been closed for many years now, but the sign remains. Architecturally the Hospital is very interesting, consisting of several Victorian buildings scattered around a large field. It would be worth exploring in its own right. There's a boom across the entrance, but I did see someone stop and open it and drive in, but at first glance there doesn;t seem to be anything preventing pedestrians going in.

Pedestrian Overbridge, old A8 (A89) Bangour Hospital July 07

Bangour Hospital has been closed for many years now, so the weeds have grown and the the bridge has a derelict look about it. It was obviously built when there was a regular flow of staff and visitors boarding & alighting buses that travelled along the A8 between Edinburgh, Bathgate & Glasgow.

The footbridge has disappeared between 2007 and 2009 - C2r, March 2016
