WHERE WILL THE ARCHES BE
2010? |
Each year
we try to build a map where
everyone can find their way
around the town to viewing
the wonderful arches and
house frontages. This is
where we need you help to
locate where these will be.
We have added a list where
hopefully the pupils,
family, friends and everyone
around Bo'ness will look to
see if a character is
missing from our map and add
it.
