Below are pictures of the removal of the caravans in 1982 when the site finally closed. Firstly, a couple of shots of caravans being lifted on a bright sunny day and, below that, the area cleared and getting ready for the next phase of development - the building of Seatoun Place! More on that in the next post...
Previous posts have looked at the Lower Largo Caravan Site and the earlier uses of the site as a spinning mill and then an oil and cake mill. This post focuses on the final days of the caravan park, as the location prepared for another change of use. The images above show the site circa 1980, as seen from the viaduct. The top image features Robert Band's workshop and cottage on the right and the site's toilet block opposite the workshop. At the left is a stable block and just visible in the centre, at the foot of the photograph, is the excavated tunnel entrance, from which the dam would have been emptied in the days of the mill. The lower photograph above shows the old gas works retort house on the left and the public conveniences on the right. Below are pictures of the removal of the caravans in 1982 when the site finally closed.

More on that in the next post... With thanks to John Band for the photographs and information.
