Geoff Bailey, of the Falkirk Local History Society, talks about the unique style of the provincial architect Matthew Steele who gave the town of Bo’ness near Falkirk much of its present character. Working in the period 1910-1940, he adopted and adapted the latest designs and materials adding a Nordic twist to provide his own flavour. Within this the range is wide. His pioneering bespoke cinema is still a flagship project.
