Waterside Irvine (late 19th Century) - by Crawford Fulton
This photo is taken from George McMaster's Collection. As can be seen, the riverbank trees (now fully mature) have recently been planted, at the time when this photograph was taken. The road looks as if it is compacted earth and there is no kerb to the right side of it..
Irvine Archive Contributors - by Crawford Fulton
This graphic was designed to acknowledge the contributions of the six people who have added material from their own archives or photographs which they themselves have taken to The Irvine Archive. On behalf of my colleagues in Clyde Imagineering and myself, I wish to express sincere thanks to the individuals concerned.

High Street (mid to late 19th Century). - by Crawford Fulton
This image is taken from George McMaster's Collection. My thanks go to William Strannigan for these comments: 'I must assume that is the High St shop which is now owned by Brownings . I recognised the close entrance with the front shop door. This property was also my Grandfathers and ran right through to West Rd. We used to get the dancers in from the Ritz on a Friday And Saturday night.'
