Dumfries Art Deco (v) Carers Centre, a Garage and Two houses

More Art Deco from our visit to Dumfries in May 2018

This is on Whitesands, over the road from the river Nith. Now a Carers Centre. Surprisingly the windows haven’t been too mucked about with:-

A former garage, again on Whitesands, close to the River Nith. Now multiple shops:-

This Deco house on has had its eyes poked out:-

It lies on New Abbey Road, just at its junction with Pleasance Avenue.

Dumfries Bridges

The River Nith runs through Dumfries (in Dumfries and Galloway, south west Scotland.) In the town two bridges span it.

Newer bridge:-

New Bridge, Dumfries

Older bridge:-

Old  Bridge, Dumfries

Some lovely willow trees droop over the river just above the bridge:-

Willows, Dumfries

Famously a weir interrupts the river’s flow just opposite the town’s main riverside area (and car park which the river has visited often in the past.) The old bridge can be seen off to the centre right here with the weir in the centre ground:-
