Garage Fire, Scotsburn Road

This dramatic picture shows Neil D Forbes' garage going up in flames c1950, perhaps earlier. Given the close proximity of the petrol pumps the consequences could have been very serious. It was situated near the foot of Scotsburn Road and part of the concrete base on which the pumps stood can still be seen beside the pavement where the flower bed is close by.
The picture also shows part of the wall which surrounded "Ross the Dairy's" property now also long gone.

This image is a scan of one of a number of slides taken by local businessman and museum stalwart, George Hamilton, whose family kindly gifted the slides to the museum.
