Scotland’s Art Deco Heritage 11c. Dumbarton Yet Again

Familiarity must breed not looking. How I missed this building in this sequence up to now I don’t know. Anyway I caught it early in May when I was over for the last game in the season.
It’s the ex-Savings Bank of Glasgow building in Dumbarton, now a TSB.
The former Woolworths has been given a makeover and is now a Wotherspoons, The Captain James Lang. The frontage has cleaned up nicely. Compare this to the photo I took in 2009.
On the wall inside is a photograph of Dumbarton Woolies in its heyday.
As a homage to the building’s past this array of old Pic’n’Mix bags and sweets is also on display.
