Bridgegate, Irvine 1972 - by Crawford Fulton
This is the view of this historic street after the demolition of the northern side of it. Still to be demolished is one of my favourite buildings, the British Linen Bank (the ornate red sandstone structure on the right of the photo). It is to be regretted that the Irvine Development Corporation failed to adequately record this and many other notable buildings in the town, prior to destroying them.
The Water Bridge from Waterside - by Crawford Fulton
This photo was taken by George McMaster, around 1971/2. If you look to the left of the image you can make out the barrier for the Marress Roundabout; to the right, and through the trees of the Low Green, you can see that the westernmost part of Bridgegate is still intact.
