Greenlaw

Travel Guide

Greenlaw station (site/remains), 1997. View westward, towards Gordon, Earlston and St Boswells: ex-NBR Berwickshire (Reston - Duns - St Boswells) line. The line was severely affected by the great floods of 12/8/48, when 6.28 inches of rain fell in the Borders, turning rivers to raging torrents which destroyed many bridges. With track washed away as well, from 13/8/48 the line was closed Duns - Earlston, but was restored Greenlaw - St Boswells after some months for freight traffic, until complete closure from 19/7/65.

Renovation work at Greenlaw Town Hall. The hall was built between 1829 and 1831 to a Neo-Grecian design by John Cunningham when Greenlaw was the county town for Berwickshire. It was converted into a community centre in 1960 and a swimming pool in 1973 before falling into disuse in the 1990s. The hall featured in the BBC 'Restoration' programme in 2006 and although it was unsuccessful in securing funding from this source, European Redevelopment Fund money has been secured for the restoration of this impressive building. The programme of works is expected to be completed by August 2010. For a view of the hall prior to the erection of scaffolding for the renovation work, see 1041653. An update on the funding campaign for this project:- Historic Scotland made a £500,000 grant towards the overall estimated project cost of £2 million on the condition that the remaining money was raised within a deadline. A local landowner sold off some land for housing and generously donated £255,000 to the fund, and the local community, through fundraising and other successful grant applications, managed to raise the necessary money 2 days before the Historic Scotland grant was due to expire - a fantastic effort by a local community of 600 people.
