The Irvine that was!

This photo was taken by George McMaster.

These images probably date from the immediate aftermath of World |War One (judging from the limited number of motor vehicles and the post-Edwardian clothes.

This card was sent to Germany, it shows the east bank of the River Irvine from Fullarton.

This photo was taken from George McMaster's Collection.

This tinted postcard is in remarkable condition for its age, three of these four corners are intact. Sadly the fourth is now a monstrous piece of crass modern architecture, which, at a cost to the taxpayer of £9m, has recently reclad; those involved failed to appreciate that the form of the building was alien to the conservation area in which it is located; a case of making a pig's rear out of a pig's ear!
