172 Harbour Street and the Harbour Master's Office - by Crawford Fulton
This photo was taken by George McMaster. The two storey building, now demolished was formerly the home of the Sinclair family, famed for their role in the creation and maintenance of the Irvine Lifeboat. The single storey building is the Harbour Master's Office, which is still present today (plans exist for its restoration and a volunteer group has been established for this purpose).
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..
Waterside from the Low Green - by Crawford Fulton
This undated postcard uses a photo of this street from the early part of the 20th Century. The five substantial villas from the left were demolished around 1972-3, they have been replaced with one of the largest roundabouts which have ever been built in the heart of a medieval town.
