An enquiry has been received about the development of Pont View and hence we would like you to post your recollections and photos".
As far as we know, Pont View was built around 1962/3 by a Scottish builder. The houses came equipped with so-called "Scottish bins" which were little metal dustbins perhaps for ash.
There was a plan to extend the estate over the river - to Eland Haught and that the plan involved a road bridge across the Pont in place of the houses that face you as you come down the hill from Jackson Avenue.

There was a footbridge in the area near the Cloggs at the end of the path down to the river bank and this was removed in the 1950's.
