Fullarton Street, Irvine (early 20th Century) - by Crawford Fulton
This photo was taken from George McMaster's Collection. It is very difficult to date this photo, although it is safe to assume that it is probably before the 1930s, due to the lack of traffic). This scene is unrecognisable today, were you to stand on the same spot as upon which this photo was taken, you would not believe that you were in the same town. The buildings to left were replaced by 5 blocks of flats, those to the right were replaced by shops and flats, set back from the road by several feet (with a new a grassed area with trees and a new road between Fullarton Street and this development): www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Fullarton+St/@55.612063,-4.67...
