Trinity Church from the south east - by Crawford Fulton
This is one of my favourite churches, designed by Frederick Thomas Pilkington (1832-98), who was born in Stamford (near Petersborough). He moved to Edinburgh in 1854, from where many of his subsequent commissions were executed. You will find other photos of this marvellous structure elsewhere in my 'Irvine, June 2009' and 'Irvine Bay 3 June 2010' sets. This photo show the rear elevation, I adore the complex interplay of the rooves which FTP creates, it is a kind of Gothic Sydney Opera House!

HARBOUR WALK 37 - Harbour Street 18 - by Crawford Fulton
This photo was taken by George McMaster. In the foreground is a recent housing development, adjacent to which is the former Cross Keys Inn (renamed 'The Keys' and now vacant). The building at the end of the street is the former Harbourmaster's Office, currently the subject of plans for restoration. On the extreme right of the image can be seen the Big Idea, a visitor centre focused on invention and inventors. It opened in 2000 and closed in 2003.
