The Irvine that could have been!

This image was taken by George McMaster. It is very sad to see window of this shop, which I visited regularly as a child, boarded up, prior to its demolition.

This is the view of this historic street after the demolition of the northern side of it. Still to be demolished is one of my favourite buildings, the British Linen Bank (the ornate red sandstone structure on the right of the photo). It is to be regretted that the Irvine Development Corporation failed to adequately record this and many other notable buildings in the town, prior to destroying them.

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.
