South Alloa, Stirlingshire

In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described South Alloa like this:

Alloa, South, a hamlet in Airth parish, Stirlingshire, on the right bank of the river Forth, at Alloa Ferry, and at the terminus of the Larbert and South Alloa branch of the Caledonian railway, 6 miles ESE of Stirling. A project was authorised in 1873, on a proposed capital of £300,000 in shares of £10, to construct a dock at South Alloa, with an entrance lock 126 yards long, and with all quays, jetties, wharves, roads, and warehouses, requisite for a good harbour: and a bill was promoted in Dec. 1875 to extend the time for the works till 1880.
