Huts for mixing explosives. These were associated with the Nobel explosives factory. Each hut was staffed by one employee who mixed the explosives by hand. The idea was that if one of them had an accident, it was confined to a single site. The explosive was used largely for making fuses.

Another train with the engine and first few carriage slightly obscured by the ever present exhaust of a steam locomotive, locomotives that did much to add to pollution of the atmosphere, especially in urban areas. (Notes that engines are steam engines may seem rather superfluous in 1929! What other sorts of engines were they? Just the occasional petrol or diesel shunter.)

This is Strawberry Bank. Union Road is on the other side of the railway. They are linked by a pedestrian underpass beneath the railway.

Looks like a line-up of SMT (Scottish Motor Traction) buses in the main street at what was known as the bus stance. As they are pointing westwards it is likely that they were going to places such as Bo'ness, Falkirk and Stirling
